Minimalist index page from a printed design portfolio book showing a numbered list of projects with years and a facing blank page.
Summary
An open spread from a design portfolio book showing a dark left page with a numbered index of projects and a light grey facing page numbered "01".
Visual description
Overhead photograph of an open hardcover book with a split-page layout. Left page: dark charcoal background with white sans-serif text reading "Index" as a heading, followed by a list of ten numbered projects (Milano in bmx, Suoni, Liquid spheres in 0 gravity, etc.) with their years (2018-2020) aligned to the right. Right page: light grey background with large "01" typography and a black ribbon bookmark extending from the binding. The pages have a subtle shadow cast showing depth and three-dimensionality.
Key takeaway
Clean Swiss design principles applied to book design: strong contrast, organized information hierarchy, generous whitespace, and restrained typography create both clarity and sophistication. The facing pages demonstrate how to establish rhythm and pacing across a spread.
Reuse notes
Excellent reference for portfolio book design, editorial layouts, and Swiss-style information design. Works well for any project needing professional indexing or table-of-contents inspiration. The typography and color pairing (dark text on dark background + light page) shows advanced contrast and legibility techniques.
