The magazine layout I created for the “Are the Planets Inhabited?” article successfully addresses the goals of the project because it is a functional layout that would appear professional and well balanced in any magazine. The circular callout mimics the shape of the planets in the main image, and the colors use are also highlighting colors used in the image of the planets to create a sense of balance and harmony. The fonts used were specifically chosen to bring life to the words in terms of the subject matter, i.e. space and the future. The only exception is the word “Inhabited” which I wanted to appear more organic since it symbolizes the possibility of life on other planets.
