magazine layout

in the beginning...
i wanted to do a classic 50s magazine layout on motorcycles because the 50s era magazines really appealed to me and the style i thought would go well will the style of bikes i wanted to feature, and i chose motorcycles because i really enjoy riding mine and most the the magazines out there are just soft-core porn, so af far as i'm concerned there is a niche that needs to be filled.



the pictures i used were from motorcycling photographer Josh Kurpious, but he declined to let me use his work, just i just stole some pixilated ones to get my layout down. This is the style i want and i like the layout, also the title page needs a lot of work, i plan on having my info graphic here as an exploded engine.

Final... yes it's me standing on my seat.

I took all the photos for this layout myself, as i was unable to find anything online that i liked. i'm pretty proud of the result.
