When browsing magazine spreads, I find myself preferring the minimal designs. I like the effect of a two page spread with a minimal amount of text within a text dominated magazine.

Minimal Text Spreads
When browsing magazine spreads, I find myself preferring the minimal designs. I like the effect of a two page spread with a minimal amount of text within a text dominated magazine.

Designing Within Constraints
Here is an interesting series of minimalist movie posters from graphic nothing, made with the stipulations that they include:
-a circle
-lowercase text
-1-2 images not from the film
See, rules are good, because they'll push one to creatively solve the problem in a number of different ways. Note especially that the color selections set a definite tone to the movie being promoted.
My favorites are the Star Wars & Annie Hall posters: simple, clear shapes that sift down core themes from the movies. Nice.
