This was produced for my coursework.

I had to produce some magazine covers to go after a niche market of our own choosing.

I decided to choose weird property and architecture that comes up for sale.

I chose the name madhouse to begin with, but then changed it to madhaus as a play on words to tie with the famous design movement of the Bauhaus, who were incredibly influential on architecture.

I made this as a deliberate attempt to emulate the famous 'swiss-style' of Josef Muller-Brockmann, a graphics hero.

There was quite a complicated grid produced for this design, and this was the final that i was happy with.

The barcode was intergrated to the coloured stripes as the linear qualities fitted in well, and meant i didnt have to have a barcode "slapped on".

The font used is Clan, from FONTFONT.
