help with two page circus layout
brad blyzwick (67 pencils) | Tue, 2005-09-13 19:33hello everyone,
This semester at school is my first introduction to layout theories in design. Our assignment involved cutting and pasting magazine clippings to create: picture window layout, silhouette, mondrian and now a circus layout. i am a little confused about the circus layout. Our professor gave us guidelines for the project to include five non relevant images, each containing a heading, sub-head and body. All must have a hierarchal relevance and some sort of balice to correspond the two pages. I would like some tips or examples for creating a strong layout. any info will be greatly appreciated.

Brad, is this for george's class at la roche? For me the circus layout is a joke. Nothing good ever comes out of it. He will tear it apart no matter what. It is good pratice, but ask around, when was the last time a professional used the circus layout? Keep posting about george. He is a sliiy old man.
