A. No explanation needed.

Def B- I love the way the simple lines compliment the architecture. With A it looks a little like the styles are competing.

I also love the size of B's subhead- I think it makes better use of the white space.

Well, in my highly valued expert opinion (yeah right!) I'm drawn to option A. Can't explain it, but it's more inviting than B.

Option A. It looks more gentle and inviting, something appropriate for this type of magazine. Option B (although it's quite different) reminds me of the "dell" computer labels.
Cute layout though for a magazine!

I can't tell you the difference between the two, BUT I was drawn to B almost immediately. So I say a definite B.

I am all about option b. The serif is nice, but i don't know how well i like it with the image...and sans-seems more universal, especially because this is a magazine cover and they most likely would keep the font the same on each issue.

anyway, what i also really like is the shape of the subheading on b. and i like the shape of the april 2010 and dwell.com on the bottom of a.

great color choices.

hmm. i'm usually a sans-serif kind of gal, but i'm diggin' option a. i think those serifs add a little bit of friendliness. option b is more institutional-feeling, which isn't as "home-y" in my opinion. i also like how option a draws your eyes to the subtitle. it's also more unique, i think. then again, i like the shape option b makes with the subtitle.

a lot of help i am, huh? =P

i'm excited to see it complete :)
