critique - vox 3/22

For this week's issue of VOX, I designed the moonlighting feature. My original concept for the piece was to show the juxtaposition of each subject's day and night job. I had originally used gray for the box on the first spread, but after seeing the cover on Sunday, I decided to change the color to blue so both pieces would match. I really liked the photos on the third page and I would have liked to start with them, but Jen said the first story was stronger so I kept it that way. My final version is much improved from the one I showed on Thursday. There is more white space and each story has it's own defined section.

Here's my final version of "Moonlighters". Because of production issues, I made the text on the first spread two separate text boxes. Following a suggestion from Kristin, I changed the placement of the opening text as it was lost on the second page.


























Below is the version of "Moonlighters" I turned it in on Sunday.
