I choose to redesign this article about cricket in Afganistan from 'ShortList' as it had a few images to work from and quite a bit of text. I liked the original layout... but hate wonky photographs... To be honest when I looked closer as I created my thumbnails the images are pretty naff and so I kept the main image but made more use of it and got rid of the others. I feel that in my new layout they are not needed and it doesn't matter that they have been made obsolete.
I used a 12 column grid as I couldn't work out an exact one from the magazine... but there were alot of columns. I really like what I have produced, layout design and working with type is definitely for me. It is what I have always done when I worked and I still love it!
