Paper re-design

Have you ever noticed how boring
academic research articles can be?

Have you experienced the agony of
swallowing them for university work despite their unpleasant design? 

I did, therefore I came up with a
workable solution and pursued this task 
with a problem-solving mindset. 

All of the choices here are meant to help
the reader and keep their attention:

subtle cream-shaded paper, more white
space in text, a type pairing that is easily understandable but still has personality and guides eyes, interactive elements like image 
and text foldouts, 

as well as separate mini-booklets for 
references and glossary to organise the 
contents in a more accessible way.
