Editorial identity combining oversized sans-serif numerals and geometric shapes with black-and-white photography on a dark background.

Summary

Editorial identity system for Maria Taboada graphic design, built on oversized numbers and geometric shapes against a stark black background.

Visual description

Left side shows a rounded envelope or folder with small text and contact details (website, phone, email) in minimal typography. Right side displays a full-bleed editorial layout: massive numbers (12, 4) in bold sans-serif, scattered geometric half-circles and rectangles, and high-contrast black-and-white cropped photography arranged asymmetrically across the dark field. Heavy use of negative space and sharp geometric cuts emphasize the typography.

Key takeaway

The pairing of oversized display numerals with cropped geometric photography to create visual rhythm. The discipline of a two-color palette (pure black and white) creating drama through contrast alone, not color.

Reuse notes

Strong foundation for design consultancy or editorial branding. Works best with compelling photography that can be radically cropped. Requires sophisticated layout skill to avoid appearing chaotic; best suited to print materials and high-touch applications.
