Designing Long Documents with Graphic Designer, Yas Fakhr

Talk Paper Scissors

This is the second episode in a 6-part magazine mini series. Here you’ll meet graphic designer, Yas Fakhr. You’ll hear Yas’ process for creating long documents and the very best book design and printing geekery between she and Diana. You’ll hear Yas’ advice for what new designers should consider at various stages in the long document design process. You’ll learn Yas’ thoughts on grids, including when to make them and when to break them, as well as what’s on Yas’ Adobe InDesign wish list. Finally, we dive into the murky waters of AI in the design space and how Yas has seen it used effectively and ethically among she and her colleagues.
