Independent concept / Fictional brief

Margin Notes

A fictional essay journal with a spacious opening and an active margin for supporting ideas.

Margin Notes original design composition, shown complete without cropping
Original self-initiated concept. No client commission, endorsement or published outcome is claimed.

The brief

The study gives the main essay a steady column and uses a narrower rail for context. A restrained red rule distinguishes the annotations without making the page compete with itself.

The design decisions

All titles and sample copy belong to the independent concept. It is not a published journal, an author commission or evidence of a print run.
