Grids and Spreads

I chose an article from the National Geographic website to layout as a print document in Indesign. The layout was based on the design aesthetic I was getting from the website and my own experience with reading through a National Geographic. I aimed to use similar if not the same colors as the ones used in the official magazine. The pictures were the focal point that I designed around and I really wanted to showcase their beauty. This was my first pass at setting text in a document and it turned out okay. What I focused on was making the document feel as though it was out of a National Geographic.
