Designing multitext panels with Josie Brown

I have often looked at a piece of work where someone has cleverly fitted together pictures and different styles, weights and colours of text and wondered how it’s done. Our workshop on Saturday 26 January 2019 with Josie Brown was designed to explain and unravel the mysteries.

Josie began by taking us through the various elements we need to consider before putting a multitext panel together, then showed us examples of different types of panels and then moved on to small group projects with each group being given a brief and asked to produce ideas for a panel.

A full report on this workshop by Helen Parkin will appear in the next issue of the Inc.
