Magazine Spread Reboot

This spread is designed for an article about a new thru-hike in Texas. My primary goals were to include engaging visuals and a dynamic composition catering to hikers, bikers, and nature lovers whom this article is intended for. I use a bold header along with an elaborate, Texas-inspired typeface on a larger scale to catch the reader’s attention. This establishes a strong visual hierarchy and sets the tone for the article while ensuring the headline stands out against the colorful background. I chose a clean sans-serif typeface for the body text to prioritize readability. I placed it in a slightly translucent text box that allows the landscape background to subtly show through without compromising legibility. A pulled quote in a bold sans-serif draws the reader’s eye toward the next page and smoothly transitions into the second part of the article. I used a 3 × 3 grid system to maintain consistency and structure while arranging visual elements asymmetrically to add dynamism to the composition, evoking a sense of energy and movement.
