A journal of graphic design
Notes on typography, layout, print production, and what a sign or a facade is doing on a Bangkok street. This is an editorial journal. It is not a studio.
Typography
How to look at a typeface in use, without treating a specimen as a rule book.
Grid and layout
Columns, margins, and why a grid is a tool, not a style.
Production and print
What to confirm with a printer before a file is treated as final.
Looking at Bangkok
Everyday lettering and shopfronts, observed rather than collected as a style guide.
Architecture programmes
A directory for architecture and design study, then each university's own page.
Reading a brief
How to pull facts out of a brief before anyone talks about style.

The journal
GDB is a journal of graphic design: typography, layout, print production, and looking carefully at everyday signs and printed matter, including in Bangkok. It is written in English. It is an editorial site.
It is not a studio and it does not take on client work, pitch for accounts, or sell a design service. This edition is a new journal. It is not connected with any former design studio that used this domain.
Where a page mentions a university programme or a production specification, treat the facts as something you must confirm on a current official page or with the printer you will actually use.
