This layout came from a 2002 issue of National Geographic Traveler. The article, also the cover story, is devoted to the island of Bali in Indonesia, a colorful Hindu dot in a sea of other islands that comprise the region. Excepting the fact that I love Balinese culture and it's at the top of my list of places I want to travel, I also think it's a really well put together visual piece. All of the photographs are very large, and many spread across both pages. There is a chromatic unity to the piece, with green, orange, and red providing a nice split-complimentary palette, and I like the enormous burnt orange drop-cap letters that designate the various sections of the piece. The photographs are at once intimate, candid, and sublime. I don't know about you, but I want to go!!!
I love how this piece is presented. Even though, there are a lot of pages, I am still interested with the article because of the photo/text placement and colors.
