CLEAR WATER FISHING ALRIGHT!

So this is the last project for DSP.  And of course, I thought this was due on Friday...  my bad.  I had different ideas for this originally (in the thumbnail stage).  I wanted it to be manly / hardcore to the EXTREME but then...  I couldn't find any extreme pictures of fishing.  Just some bros grinning with a huge bass they caught.  That was pretty disappointing, so I went with a more "traditional" look instead, with the headline font as an exception.  It has a lot of movement, which isn't expected from a fishing magazine.  Hopefully that's a good thing.

Obviously this is a lot more rushed than my other projects since it's already late anyway, but I think it gets the job done.  Also, I had a different color scheme (green and brown) in mind while I was doing thumbnails.  But then I found the image of the boat and wanted the color scheme to center around that, so I switched it to blue and red.



The original inspiration for this spread...  unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of people fishing on a boat.  But uh, maybe that's for the best.
