(More) Layout Options

So today, I spent some time in the library looking through magazines like i-D, Aesthetica and Vogue. 

I mainly looked at interview/editorial style pages. These are a few that resembled what I was going for. These are from i-D.

What I like about them all is that the main focus is on the photos, not the text like in other magazine interviews I've seen. As I don't have a lot of text from my interviews, I think these types of layout would be much better than the ones I originally came up with.

I like the ones with multiple pictures because then I can fit more of my work into the project as I only have a limited number of interviews. The only problem with this is that they would have to all be the same size and a few of my pictures need cropping so getting them to look good the same size might be tricky. Of the 2 pages with 4 photos on each, I prefer the one with the border between the photos. In my opinion it looks a lot neater.

I think the text in boxes looks a lot better than the first page, where the text is overlaying the image. I just think with the picture they chose, with lots of varying colours, it can make it more difficult to read the text. This layout would've worked better if there had been an area of darkness on the photo with light writing or visa versa.

The smaller snippets of quotations in a bigger font (3rd and 5th picture) are very good at drawing you in and giving an insight to the tone of the interview.

I think I'll try and have a mix of single photograph pages and ones with multiple on. I'd like to have the single photos with the smaller snippets of text, with the full interviews paired with multiple images.
