Editorial Design

Passive House Plus is a magazine for construction professionals and enthusiasts focused on building and upgrading buildings to the world's leading low energy standard - passive house. Published in separate UK and Irish editions, I have worked on the magazine as sole designer for six issues while dealing with the clients directly as the person of contact within the agency.

My role in Passive House focuses on adapting the pre-existing style to the updated content for each issue. Consistency and maintaining a clean, minamilist layout are the key considerations for each issue.

The design focus of Passive House Plus is on clarity and legibility.
Due to the content, which is often highly tecnical, the page must perform in function over all else.

One key change I have implemented since taking on the role was the redesign of the International section.

As this section changed from a 2-3 page article to a mutli-page feature, it was important to create sections throughout to ensure the content was easy to follow for the reader.

Blocking out each section makes the text and images easy to connect, while fitting in with the overakk style and maintaining a minamilist feel.
