Design and lay out a multi-page publication, report, or magazine to print-ready standard. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (layout concept document specifying the grid system chosen and the hierarchy rationale — why this grid, what it does for the content), technical execution artifact (InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Scribus, or equivalent file at print-ready specification: correct bleed, colour mode, and minimum 8 pages of resolved layout), critique/documentation artifact (design decisions document: column grid, baseline grid, typographic hierarchy, and image treatment decisions all justified). Proof Accessibility Rule applies: Scribus is a free open-source desktop publishing alternative; Canva Pro is available at student pricing. Studio critique: art director or graphic design tutor reviews layout decisions, hierarchy, and print specification at a documented session. Proof: layout concept document, production file (exported PDF), design decisions document, critique notes. Verifier: graphic designer or art director — no peer-only verification.
