While working on Project 2 I began to realize a lot of basic things about designing a lay out for a magazine. One thing that continued to stick out in my mind is that less is more a lot of the time. Meaning, at first I wanted to flood my pages of my magazine lay out with colors and pictures, but when I did it completely took away from the text which is the whole purpose of a magazine article. I began thinking about magazines that I read and things that catch my eye and make me continue reading. I realized that to me, an appealing article was a crisp and clean lay out with pictures that related to the text but no more than 2 pictures per page. If the text in the article is written over certain colors, it can take away from the text or make it harder to read and focus.
