Tension can sometimes be quiet, ominous and lurking under the surface, sometimes blunt, violent or explosive. The key for me was the mystery or the question mark, the idea that something was going to happen but we don't know what.
There were numerous ways throughout the design that Thomas hinted at toward this feeling of tension; some subtle, some more overt; like limiting the palette to black, white and red; tightening the margins and spacing between text, creating a sense of claustrophobia.
Suze wanted more volatility, for a sense of vibration or activity throughout the issue.
On these title pages, typography isn't used merely for its primary function; it evokes a sense of energy and anticipation, pushing design boundaries.
