step one of dj magazine spreads!

at this point, i wasn't sure what article i was going to use (i'd found some six or seven, word-counted and politely waiting in my text edit windows). i chose a bio/interview with afrika bambaataa, the guy who made hip-hop happen, and made three spreads with that article, and then very suddenly it dawned on me that that text really didn't allow for very many of my infographics (one, i think, worked well... that was all) and if i used one of my other options, a beginner's how-to for getting started to dj, i could incorporate several.

thusly, for the first day's critique, i had this stuff:



this look lent itself to a rehash with the other article, so i kept up with that. 

















and this is, incidentally, what i've been refining as i move forward, largely by giving it some space to breathe just in every direction. (roomier margins, less colorbar, implementation of a lower hangline... you'll see in the next blog post!)
