Corita Kent’s 10 Rules, as seen in this feature by The Great Discontent caught my attention and curiosity lately. Rules with a certain cheekiness and lightheartedness, collected by a devoted nun? Love it.

As outlined in TGD’s article, Corita Kent’s 10 Rules has several versions, but the most recognizable it the poster laid out by designer David Mekelburg.

When I considered putting 10 rules into my usual 8-page format, it didn’t seem quite right, so I decided to try out the 14-page format. A little smaller, but more pages to explore. Thanks to Austin Kleon’s how-to video for tips on folding this format.
