Martha Stewart’s design style is clean and minimalistic. Her designs for her magazine and cookbooks are very distinctive. It highlights the photography of the food. For example the design for her magazine, it’s clean and simple and not busy at all. This defines all of Martha Stewart’s other design style for her magazine and cookbooks. I personally think her design highlights the photography and I really like her design style.

I took one from her Living Cook Book and the other from her website. They both have the same thing going on. Her style is very defined. You can tell this is “Martha Stewart” from a mile away. Light very defined colors are used. Her styles are simple and elegant. She uses sans-serif typeface to push the idea of simplicity. She’s doing a lot by not doing much. The images are pretty large and her text is pretty small. There’s always a bunch of space even though she can have larger type! It works for her.

Martha Stewart’s Everyday Living April 2012 edition portrays an effective layout of pictures and type throughout the cover.  The warm and cool colors of the eggs bring the sense of Easter during the springtime.  The arrangements of the eggs are strategically placed so that they evenly fill the background without having a messy appearance.  The positioning of the various sanserif and serif characters doesn’t clutter the cover, and are clean and legible.

Caviar, presented elegantly.  What better way to showcase the use of caviar than to fill an entire page of a magazine with a high quality photograph?  On the other side of the photo, the leading of the bodies of text are spaced apart accordingly to promote legibility.  In addition, the paragraphs are all fully justified to contribute to the overall layout’s simplicity.  Finally, a multi-color large display size “Caviar” can be seen blended onto the first line of text for aesthetics.

1. One great example of typeface mixing.
2. One great or horrible (your choice) or either kerning or tracking.
3. One great or horrible example (your choice) of line spacing (leading).
4. And one great example of marking paragraphs.

Example of Typeface Mixing

This example of typeface mixing is remarkable because it uses a modern abstract font with a thin, sans serif font.

Great Tracking/Kerning

Simple, 45 degree font rotation with the arrow in the top right. Light brush overlay on the font gives it a rough look.

The Leading is represented by each plank of wood.

Marking Paragraphs

 The Skis are used as if they are line breaks between the title and the text

Good example of Mixing Typefaces.Horrible example of Kerning/Tracking.

Good example of Leading/ Linespacing.
