Final 20 page magazine

In my first post, i wrote about my digital layout class project, which was a 20 page magazine. All of the copy, photographs and the shell was given to us. We had to work around the requirements, ex: pull quote for every story, starting two stories on thecover, having certain adds on certain pages, captions, credits for photographs and basically other things that are required on a "real" job. So, my concept was playing with the horizontal and the vertical.. and seeing how far i could push the reader... hence, why i have two horizontal spreads (the two cover stories) which would actually force the reader to turn the magazine. I wanted to try to create a modern type of magazine... something i would want to read with strange layouts and tons of white space to make it look airy and fresh. I thought I would like to read a magazine that isn't too saturated with information and visuals, like most things are today. So.. here it is.. the format is 11 x 17 so you can judge its size when you are looking at it and the topic was dance.
