Brand Space: Strata Editions

Strata Editions

Strata Editions is an independent design publishing imprint founded on the principle that editorial design publications should function as demonstrations of the discipline they document. The imprint produces limited-run, city-specific publications profiling the most influential individuals across graphic design, architecture, and the visual arts. Each volume is structured around a single metropolitan subject, treating the city as alens through which contemporary visual and built culture can be examined with editorial precision.

BRANDING

The mission of Strata Editions is to produce design publications that

operate at the intersection of editorial rigor and visual intelligence-

objects that are as deliberately constructed as the work they present. The imprint is committed to a format in which typographic hierarchy, spatial composition, and visual sequencing are treated as primary

communicative tools rather than secondary considerations. Content and form are developed in tandem, with each editorial decision in service of a unified visual argument.

Deliverables

Strata Editions has tasked Haley Repp of Haley Repp Art and Graphic Design with creating a 18 page editorial magazine spread featuring New York’s moat prominent Artists, Architects, and Graphic Designers.The magazine will feature each respective designer in their own spread, two pages each, with a table of contents at the beginning of the magazine. As this project combines the heavy use of informational text with purposeful and visually interesting design, the use of organizational grids will be key in the success of this project.
