Caught Our Eye

Pops of crimson on a sea of blue water really make this spread shimmer. The readers’ eyes jump from the scoreboard to the headline to the quick read on the right. The color was clearly inspired by the photos, where we see red in the flags, lane markers and starting blocks. To create a division between the story and the upper photos, the designer simply let the blue water continue across both pages. Using the photo rather than a blue line is an elegant way to create movement.
