magazine layouts round 1

So we are taking the information graphics and cultural focus from visual communication 2 and making a six page magazine spread. The spreads should conceptually relate to the culture letting form follow the conceptual decisions. My article is about circus culture influencing the pop culture of 1890s-1910s America. I set up a rigid 12 column grid and selected small elements to break the grid getting at the idea of something strange influencing a conservative nation.
