Image taken from April 2015 Nylon Magazine edition. This was a publication created for the fashion and this specifica page in the magazine is displaying the table of contents for the information in the magazine.

When I first saw this online page of the magazine, my eye was immediately drawn to the bold text “APRIL.” The negative space and seclusion the bold text has due to lack of other letters,  along with its size, makes it a large focal point for the page. The isolation gives the text the power of a point. However, because of the text’s length, “APRIL” also has the power to posses the same characteristics of a line. The straight text takes my eye from the left of the text to the right leading me to the left aligned clusters of text that follow the right edge of the page. Visually, these clusters of words form both points and lines. This is beneficial for the reader to be able to categorize the information that the text is providing. Because the clusters are aligned at the same position on the plane the pages is creating, the text creates a line. The negative space also assists in creating the since of a line. The lines lead the eye from the top of the page to the bottom giving all necessary information to the viewer. Due to a since of imbalances, my eye then flows over to the left side of the page to the small bundle of text that sits on the upper part of the page. This text acts as a point when it is viewed on a small scale (due to isolation) however, if the reader is looking at the entire page, the small text balances the layout giving the eye the ability to evenly circle the page without the struggle of finding symmetry. The bold text at the bottom of the page is so demanding that if there was not some text at the top it would be awkward with the eye due to imbalance. The words do not need to be as big as the”APRIL” text because the image of the girl is assisting in the asymmetrical balance that the text is creating. The asymmetry is making the image active by encouraging the eyes to move to the top from the heavy text at the bottom and the lines on the sides.
