A Visual Approach to Fashion
I found this magazine spread in Marie Claire and really liked the type treatment at the bottom (using paint for the dots of the "i"). I also thought it was interesting how they incorporated the paintings for the models' heads... a rather different approach to expressing fashion. I'm glad the designer decided to use a green color for the dots, and not white.. to match the rest of the type. The green gives it that extra punch. I also really like the fact that the designer used photographs to express this topic.. and not words... so the reader knows exactly what's in fashion... and that is painter styles/or artistic fabrics.

this has a really fun color pallet and what I like is how the type with the three dots above it create this look of being the pallet for the designer as these artists must have had a pallet for their paint.
my favorite part about the layout is the headline. the dots of the i are the use of 2 portrays the "artistic" quality better than the whole picture combined.
i like the way the colors and the type and photos all work together.
the colors are great, and the typography treatment makes the layout really great. I wish there was more emphasis on the type and less on the picture. But I like how the color pallet is continuous throughout the image and typography.
I kind of wish there was more type to look at, because the layout is far too reliant on the image as is.
