A men's wear magazine I just learned of today:

Sorry, I can't make it to class tonight because of work, but see you next week!

Feature Intro Variations

I think I am settled on the one above. Again, I have the faint 45 degree stripe pattern in the back.

…Although I think the relationship between the two photos in this one is more interesting…

I want to cry. My work is really sucking…

Still flogging this dead horse…

Reversing out white on body of 45 degree stripes…(you'll see this better for yourself in class, basically it looks like the white of the paper cut through the pattern in two circle shapes, very subtle). I think I'm settling with this one.

Thought there was too much white everywhere–so I decided to add some color:

(thicker stripe width below, but I prefer thinner)

New Dept Variation

Basically changed the layout of the right-hand page based on our critique.

Department Spread Variation

Carol-Anne: Yes, I do have a demanding 9-6 job…and I also freelance outside of work and sleep very little.

So, maybe this looks a little over designed and not as effortless as it should look…

Did you know?

INTERNATIONAL TYPEFACE CORPORATION was partly founded by HERB LUBALIN.

"ITC's revival designs frequently follow a formulary of increased x-height, multiple weights from light to ultra bold and multiple widths. While the dramatically higher x-height increased legibility in smaller point sizes, in normal text sizes the extreme height of the lowercase characters imparted a commercial, subjective voice to texts. In recent years several new revivals have been praised for showing more historical accuracy, and for not increasing the x-height to the dramatic heights of earlier ITC typeface revivals."

No wonder why I don't like a lot of their revivals…I don't like those tall clumsy x-heights!

Dept 1 Spread

Dept Reworked (Single Page)

You can't really see the 50% Cyan, 45 degree rule pattern behind my AB rubric on my screen because of the gamma…check it out in class…more to come.
