Balance

This image is a design from a bodybuilding magazine in my house. It stuck out to me because of the symmetry and the style of ad that they chose.  It is a very interesting composition to look at because of the way the text and image is symmetrically laid out.   The header is very bold and a attention getting phrase and it also leaves you on the top of the image, then your eyes wander down towards the bottom where it gives you more info and a better sense of the product through the image and text. Another way this caught my eye was the way they chose to advertise the product. Normally, the supplements and vitamins that are advertised have a very modern look and feel, giving a sense of new and high quality branded product. This product chose to have a rough and manly feel to it by having faded, beaten up text followed with a working hand putting the product into a meat grinder with a wooden background.
