Contrast: This photo is better in black in white because if it were in color it would be too complex to look at. The lack of color gives that contrasting feel but also matches the text on the next page. Also, the size of the text varies. The "god" draws people in because of its size and popular (and contradicting) ideas.
Proximity: the title and by line fall in line with one another. The text gets smaller as the reader progresses down.
Alignment: The space between the photos and in between the columns are equal. The page numbers are aligned. Both spreads have 3 columns.
Repetition: The four black and white photos on the left are all the same size and color. They are also all close up images. In the first spread: there is one big photo and one big, bolded word.
Eye-line: neither of the above spread have an eye line that extend across both pages. But, the white space is nicely managed. The photos and text are group together. It is organized (and not annoying). Since there is so much purposeful white space, an eye line isn't necessary.
Yes. Right on about the white space and eye line. I am going to use this spread for one of the articles. Would it fit yours? I love how clean it is.
