Revision Guides Layouts & Typesetting

During my time at Oxford Study Courses, I was responsible for the rebranding of the Study & Revision Guides collection that the company published at the time. In conjunction with the Publishing team, we did some user feedback sessions in order to adapt our new layouts to the audience.

In the past, many of the guides had been published as straight to print Word documents. This meant that not only did they risk printing issues, but also that they were not set up for students to easily utilize them for their study.

Our goal was to allow students to easily navigate the books in order to have a clearer understanding of the subjects, the important information to retain and the organisation of the revision materials. As these were revision guides, we were very aware that easy access to the most essential information was key to a good revision process and, ultimately, good grades.
