A Photo Editor leads this new entry about the relationship between type and images on magazine opening spreads with this layout from the November issue of Runner’s World. It’s nice to see this one get some attention, because I consciously thought a lot about this particular topic as I worked on it.
After choosing the photos for this diptych, I styled the word Crossroads with both underline and overline, and placed it above Ryan Hall’s head as a reference to a halo. (Hall is so religious that he now uses God as his coach.) That inspired the underline and overline on the lengthy deck on the facing page, and on pull quotes throughout the feature.
