Cover principles

Uniform appearance

The key to our corporate design is the correct combination of graphic elements to create a consistent yet flexible design system.

The basic structure is clear and easy: Position the logo on the top left, set semi-bold headlines, place pictures in the grid and add other content carefully.

Accurate, deliberate design plays with the white space and creates clear and convincing communication. The layout principle is simple; apply it consistently.

Cover principles

To the point

The clear grid creates a tidy and professional overall appearance.

The layout should ensure the topic is quickly accessed, with image and text coordinated harmoniously. The layout comes to life through a clear headline and carefully chosen image.

Educating for excellence

AO book design offers you the option of using Suisse Works serif typeface in combination with the primary corporate typeface Suisse Int’l.

This helps achieve an effortless but unmistakably scientific and literary feel.

The layout of the cover is clean and user-oriented and adapts easily and intuitively to different types of content.

Flexible

A simple, six-column grid serves as an invisible structure for all text page designs.

The grid can be applied in a variety of ways, responding to text type, overall length and pictures. Successful layout exploits the tension between bold headlines and calmly presented body text.
