I realized that I never posted about some of my independent research for the publication because we shared in person with Julian. On our trip to the library, I gravitated towards full bleed images that used very minimal text. For me, the angles and lines in the images can be used to direct the viewer’s eye throughout the composition, which is so nice.
In the first round I proposed more of this kind of aesthetic. I think the group liked it, so that is what we went with.
My layouts…
On a side note, on our trip to the library I was able to look at some really cool, older versions of magazines, which was fun. The layouts were unique and they were dealing with similar social issues over 100 years ago. It would be interesting to revisit these as a source material in the future.
