Editorial Design Work 1

Unfortunately, I've been really busy this week but I wanted to post my progress on the editorial design assignment.  I'm looking to do one layout using photography, one using a collage and one that is illustrated.  Here is the illustrated one.  I know it needs work... maybe someone has suggestions? And yes, this is a real article.  You can read it here.  

Here is another layout I'm working on for an article called "When Ambassadors Had Rhythm," about how in the 1960s we used to send famous jazz players to other countries on various tours to spread goodwill.  Again, you can read the actual article here.
