I designed the Art department page for the April 12 issue of Vox. The story was a preview for a classic car show the 63 Diner will be hosting soon.
I was very pleased with the photos I had to choose from. The photographer only gave me two options, it would have been great to have had more, but in some ways it makes the selection process easier. For this department design, I focused on placing art elements, including display type and an info box, at key places so that the reader's eye would be first drawn to the photo, then to the headline, down to the pull quote and into the text. I went with a yellow for the info box and the department tag, pulling it from the break lights of the old-fashioned cars.
This was a fun design that allowed me some freedom and time to focus on the On The Map, which proved to bit more complicated than necessary, but all in all it was a productive design week.
