Part of an ongoing travelogue series, where I catalog what I see and what I think about the places I travel to, partly to keep the trip somewhere more permanent than memory, partly to have something to share. Each issue also gives me a section to experiment with how visual information gets processed and communicated.

This issue takes on the idea that every city has its own set of textures, and that those textures are specific enough to identify a place. Show someone a photograph of a street corner they have never seen, in a city they may never have visited, and the brick, the stone, the paving, the signage can still give it away.

The texture section presents those findings as a paint palette, each surface swatched, numbered, and labelled. The reference is deliberately old school, but the layout around it is not, so the format stays recognisable without reading as pastiche.
