City Lights

I was searching through some magazines at Evans Library and I found this really interesting article over lights. The layout of the article was really nice. The article was divided into two sections, the first top half was the title and reading, and the bottom second half was the picture that the article was over. I think that there should always be something in an article that catches a persons attention. For this article, it was definitely the picture (colors within the picture). The reading was very easy. The article had two main rows of reading. There was a lot of space between each section of the reading so it was very easy to understand. The font type was fairly normal with a couple of different colors to combine with the colors on the picture.

Urban Land Magazine is a "30 page special report on retail markets for multinational investors, and how new retail designs driven by "de-mailling," urbanization, and societal influences are changing how malls engage their communities in the US, Europe, and Asia." I looked into the January 2007 issue on the Back Page. City Lights talks about how six members of the British Design Partnership (BDP)attempted to change how people view and what they think of the Manchester, England by using 45 torches and 110 light-emitting diodes. The conclusion was that if they achieved this by only using 20 minutes of battery power, the possibilities of permanent lighting installations are endless. The "guerrilla lighting" event was a campaign to show how lighting has an impact on the cities in which people play, work, and live.
