Topographies Publication

Text excerpted from Hugh Campbell’s article "The Poorest Details of the World Resurfaced," accompanied by photographs from Stephen Shore’s Topographies collection. This publication features Stephen Shore’s drone-assisted photographs, which explore the profound idea that paying close attention to our surroundings is the essential first step in truly understanding them. Through his large-scale imagery, Shore unveils the intricate interplay between land and infrastructure, highlighting details and perspectives that often go unnoticed in our daily lives. The photographs invite the viewer to consider these overlooked spaces with renewed awareness and appreciation. Using InDesign, I designed the layout to ensure that the visual elements were as impactful as the written content. I paid close attention to how the images would interact with the text, allowing for an engaging flow that would guide the reader through the material. Balancing the text and photography was key—each image needed space to breathe, while the article provided context and depth to the visual experience. Typography was carefully chosen to complement the clean lines and structure of the photographs, ensuring that the publication’s aesthetic mirrored Shore’s own meticulous attention to detail.
