This is a one page spread that I found in Rolling Stone magazine. It is a informational piece about the bassist Flea from the Red Hot Chile Peppers. I will have to say that I was originally drawn to the article because of the musician, but looking closer I really enjoyed the type treatment especially with the word wrap. There are two typefaces in this article but main type is a quite readable serif. Some might say that there is too much packed into this single page, but I have become accustomed to seeing this in Rolling Stone and I don't really mind it.

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.
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 Swiss inspired design from an art show brochure. I have always enjoyed the simplicity of Swiss design. The sans serif type which was popular during that era is prominently displayed flush left.
