a spread comparison
this is an example of a battle i lost for the upcoming issue of mental_floss. The first image is the spread as i wanted it, and the second is how it went to press. just wanted to hear other's thoughts
now that i see it and have had some time to let the design sink in a bit, i think what i should have done was probably mimic layout of the text on the sign a bit more and keep the headline more horizontal to keep it a bit more readable. (that was the main concern, that the headline was not legible enough, of course i liked that about it)
i went ahead and made it like a said before
also, the type isn't pink, it should be white, that is some problem in shrinking down the image. (not that there is anything wrong with pink STEPH)
