Copping an Attitude test 2

Description

This is the layout for a double page spread featuring an article from Emigre's website ([link]) concerning the theft and general lack of originality and creativity many people have in developing and publishing fonts. Ironic since my own font was a Hybrid based off a mixture of 2 other fonts.

The idea behind the design is to show that just by giving some letters a few tweaks in Illustrator and slightly adjusting them does not constitute an original design. The fonts used are Courier for the type, Gill Sans for the headings, and Georgia for the side pieces. These fonts were used because they are default typefaces, and seemed the most appropriate given the nature of the article. Since however I havnt managed to get the entire thing stuck onto 2 pages, we shall see if it works or not.

This re-design includes enhanced text boxes to give the copy room to breath, a re-designed color scheme which gives more than a nod to CMYK printing process, and tweaked composition and headers.
