Opposite Sex 2 Page Magazine Spread

The day of completion has arrived, the final printed project due for this semester of exploration of DSP: The 2 page opposite sex oriented magazine spread. My final production was probably the closest to the marker comp than any other preceeding production/marker comp. But of course there were still some changes that occurred: the couple used was shifted slightly to the left to ensure no important areas of their bodies were cut off , the opacity of the olympic rings was dropped down signifigantly, the title of the spread was separated onto both of the two pages to fill up empty space on top of the pages, and I increased the saturation of the couple to make their colors more vivivd while giving them a slight silhouette appearance when viewed from a distance. Overall my production was executed well, but I had a minor problem in printing: I didn't center my document when i set it up for printing so subsequently a small part of the left side closest to the edge was cut off, pretty much just the "S" in the title was cut off but it's barely noticable... but still I noticed my mistake and in the future I will center my document in the print set up stage. I think overall the goal of making the spread aesthetically pleasing to the woman was achieved... but what do I know, Im just a man that periodically watches Dancing with the Stars.
