Vox: Countertenor feature (6.8.06)
Here is this week's feature:
It's about a guy who just discovered he has the perfect countertenor voice. I knew I would be playing with the musical notes, and really liked how the large clef note off-balances the text. It's high, like the text is wide, and I think music is so much about balance between elements. The H as a note I think is both subtle, and connects the headline to the large clef note, creating a scale of words.
Looking at the page, the photo of him might be a little too large. I think in Vox we try to play up a large dominate image, but when the image isn't detailed, there really is no reason to play it this big.
Carrying over the notes to the second page, the pull quote again off-balances the clef note.
