The first thing that caught my eye about this article in Bloomberg Businessweek was the text wrap that was going on with the body type. It is a magazine article about the trouble with oil. There are two typeface classifications in this article both serif in the body copy and a sans serif in the title. The three column spread is done rather well and is quite powerful in the black and white structure. The negative space really holds the article together.

I really enjoyed the playfulness of the square motif in this magazine spread. I failed to write down where I obtained this layout from. I have noticed a common mixture of serif body type and a sans serif title while looking for blog posts this semester. Something I really did not pay much attention to before this class. The leading in the body copy might be as tight as it can get to remain legible. They might have to do this to keep the angles looking nice for the representation of the square. I really enjoyed the harmonious color scheme in this spread. It makes you feel comfortable and at home.

This is a AGI Congress and exhibit poster done by Staff Geissbuhler who studied at the Basil School of design. I found this image in the book Graphic Design Referenced by Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit. This was chosen by the authors to represent some of Geissbuhler's better works. I found the composition interesting because of its positive and negative spacing. The big bold sans serif type, with the image of the chariot racer and horses makes it intriguing to me. This was designed in 2005.

This is magazine spread from Yes magazine. It caught my eye with the large red lips on the first page. The article is about a Chinese-American singer-songwriter, actor, producer, and film director. The layout is nicely done with sans serif type. This is the intro paragraph for the article.
