This is a world tour Magazine spread layout I found online. I can’t find more information about the designer, but I really like this design, so I choose this spread layout for analysis.
The designer used Modern typefaces for the big title. We can see It has strong thick/thin transitions. We can see that there is a significant change in the size of the title letter, and I’ve circled the very thin ones. In the subtitle, capital T has really obvious serifs, which is a feature of old-style typefaces. The lower-case letters all have strong thick/thin transitions, and serifs on lowercase letters are slanted. Another subtitle also used the modern typeface. Although the author made the font very thin for the second subtitle, for comparison with the title, the difference in thickness can be seen. I circled them out also.
In this magazine spread layout, they used Modern and old-style typefaces. These two typefaces themselves are so different that you can see them at a glance. Also, the designer adjusted the thickness, font size, and color, make the difference between the two typefaces even starker.
The designer used 4 pictures in this spread layout, but we can only see two of them clearly. I marked them as picture 1 and 2. They both used depth in the field. Especially, the second one has some mountains in the front and some far away in the back. This magazine is about traveling, so the pictures really showed the audients the view of the places.
I took those pictures when I was in Hongkong, because this magazine is about traveling, and all the picture type is depth in the field. I feel it will be awesome If I can use those pictures I took before. The first one used depth in the field, the second one used one-third rule and the last one used liner.
The first picture with the river and sunrise can replace the picture on the left page of the layout. They both use the depth of the field and have sea or river in the picture. The second one can replace picture 2, it has mountains and sea around in the picture, so they are really similar. The third one can replace the left picture on the right page. They both have some buildings inside.
Ps. I don’t know if I can use the pictures that I took before, but if that’s not OK please let me know, I can take some pictures here in Rexburg.
