This weekend I designed the Fine Art department page for Vox. It wasn't the intimidating task that I expected it to be. I worked on getting all of the elements onto the department's page Friday afternoon and then returned Sunday to put some of the final touches on the spread.
I'm proud of the photo decision. I had access to a couple different photos and I think the photo I chose presents the story well. There wasn't much room for other design elements, but I tried to balance the page so that it wasn't too text heavy by adding a pull quote and strategically placing the event info box in the opposite corner of the photo. These elements draw the reader's eyes first to the photo, then the text, then to the info box. I'm pleased with how it turned out but hope that future department designs allow more artistic freedom.
