Wallpaper* City Guide Design

 I have decided to additionally look at the Wallpaper* City Guide Design as its design is beautifully put together and the Guide shows examples of what a Guide to can achieve. The cover uses a great grid system with the white banner at the top and then a different colour for each of the cities. This is recognisable and makes for a great collection of books. I live the use of simplistic typography that doesn't need to be too expressive. The design communicates the information efficiently and is not over complicated. The image bellow shows the map and various sections of the city the design remains consistent throughout and keeps up the subtle use of typography. 

The different colours for the various sections is clear and makes the book easy to use though my publication only being small it may not be appropriate in my work. The layout for each of the features sections like most of the design I have looked at uses very simple pictures consistently then text below this adds to the clarity of the information. I like the use of different cut out sections on the side making the various area of the book easy to navigate. Overall there is some great examples of how design can be simplistic at communicate just as effectively.
