Image+Nation Film Festival catalogue

Creating a bilingual catalogue with a very limited physical format, an abundance of copy and the added constraint of avoiding a political hierarchy of languages made for a great typographic exercise.

The client wanted something which felt industrial’Äîthe cover had been designed by someone else much earlier, with a very rough, post-Carson approach’Äîand I wanted something which was easy to navigate in French and English.

To avoid the connotations of setting one language in a light and the other in a heavier weight, I chose different constructions with similarly ’Äòneutral’Äô aesthetics, and balanced the colours so hey did not compete with each other in terms of gray.
