The Value of Modularity

Project Overview: This project, developed as part of a BA major study, explores how historical visual systems can inform contemporary approaches to flexibility and expression in graphic design. Drawing from Constructivist principles, the investigation examines how structural rigour can coexist with dynamic composition. The challenge was to balance expressive variation with coherence, using grids, typographic contrast, and controlled compositional tension to test how visual energy can operate within defined parameters. The resulting suite of printed artefacts demonstrates how system-based design can manage complexity, hierarchy, and impact, translating historical methodology into a contemporary visual language suited to modern communication contexts.
