The Enigma of Thérèse Moll


This is an article about Swiss designer Thérèse Moll that I laid out into a booklet for my page layout project. Thérèse Moll was a gifted designer who was present when Switzerland was changing the design world in the 1950s and 1960s. Tragically, she took her life at the age of 26. I tried to imitate the Swiss design style in my layout by using rag-right columns and emphasizing negative space. I also used Univers as the only type family, because that kind of limitation is another characteristic of Swiss design. I took design cues specifically from Moll's work as well, like transparent overlays of bold colors.
