Recreating a Men's Health page

My version. 

Original copy. 

 For this assignment we were to recreate a page taken out of a magazine. I got a clip from Men's Health Magazine. I think the hardest part of this assignment was finding pictures that resembled the ones in the original page. I never knew finding a picture of a shirtless man on the beach could be so difficult. But besides the pictures I think everything else went okay. I started with the dominant photograph because that seemed to be as the focal point of the page. I then worked around that picture adding all the text and the top black headline. After I did the whole left side, I moved over to the right column. It was also a bit of a challenge to try to fit everything on the right side of the page in one single column.
