Final Project--Magazine Layout

 

This is my layout for a story about the Black Beauty hair salon in Florence, Italy. I used stills taken from a Flip Cam video for the strip sidebar across the bottom, and I used a file photo as the main visual element of the story because of a lack of other usable photos or illustrations. I also tried to make the headline very bold, prominent and succinct to draw the reader's attention to that first above all else. I used another small sidebar and a pull quote to break up the text and add some visual variety to the rest of the two-page spread.
