The finished product is finally here! A few changes were made over the weekend. On the cover I attempted to fix readability of the masthead, most importantly, and also made minor adjustments to the placement of the image.
In the table of contents, the textured purple strip was given more of an angle to break the stark rectangularity of the entire layout. Also, I increased the hierarchy for the feature on the New Museum by using larger and bolder text and size variation.
Not much changed on the impact spread--just taking the texture out of the strip (too distracting and not enough connect) and adding a drop cap to visually initiate the article.
Lastly, on the info spread I reformatted the text (still not completely satisfied with it--a little plain in my opinion--but it is able to mirror the displacement of the New Museum's architecture. I also moved and reformatted the quote (& the strip), using the strip to highlight the quote.
