I chose this magazine spread from "The Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom" magazine. Peak Performance appealed to my attention because I am fascinated with kitchens. The wooden beams were the focal point that drew me into this spread. Having two different views of the kitchen and the view looking out into the fields, made me want to know what was so special about this kitchen. The title was large enough to catch my attention, following the article which gave interesting information about the coming of this magnificent kitchen.
"Architectural Digest" was chosen for the second spread, which was called Design in the Family. This spread emphasized a fabric, called Duralee, which has grown over the years. The colors of the fabric and the arrangement of furniture drew my attention to this spread. The integration of the visuals gave me an understanding as to what it represents. The first thing that I looked at was the large center pillow rather than the text above. The margins are different on both sides which makes the spread feel like two separate pages rather than one complete page; it also gives a nice contrast. The vertical column on the left gives a brief concept and picture that gives an idea as to what this article is about.
This magazine spread is different from any others, it comes from "Coastal Living" and features Tommy Bahama. The spread is does not use the boring white pages but printed textured pages with decorative outlines. The bedroom furniture displays the same look as the page which is an important factor when advertising products; thats what drew me in. The whole layout has a topical feeling, even the text. The text section uses other fonts which allows character to the spread as well as to the designer. I think this spread is well designed because it is unlike any other spreads and catches the attention as soon as you turn the page.
