Throughout the article, text is typeset in thin, pillar-like columns of varying heights as a visual of female skaters' strength to take a stand for themselves in their journey to be recognized as equal professionals to male skaters. In addition, negative space within and around text columns provide a visual for the the inner strength female skaters have as they navigate their path to recognition.
On the spread below, the quote jutting into the text column, lifting the column up further, is an expression of female skaters' passion to break into the industry and rise up to be equal professionals to male skaters in the skating industry.
Custom imagery further tells the story of female skaters' passion and strength to rise up against the struggles in their evolution to become equal professionals in the skating industry. Using double exposure, duotones, smoke brushes, and blending effects, the vibrant and emotive imagery helps readers connect with female skaters on a deeper level.
