This magazine spread has very different and unique grids that not only work with the illustration but also the head-line. There are clear horizontal grids as well as vertical ones. For instance, the horizontal line of gas is being modeled by the deck-head. The deck-head is also part of the page which is separated in 5 horizontal grids. The vertical grid encompasses the headline which is one of three vertical grids. Although it is harder to define and separate, the left side of the spread has the same grids as the right side. The coach bus on the left side is directly lined up with the grid on the right side (where it says gas). Also, Thomas Jefferson's face is the same size as the 6 on the right. These visual objects show hints on how large the grids are and how through the chaos, the layering is still very symmetrical and even.
I am not this creative so therefore I do not see anything that I would change about the spread. Not only is the layout visual pleasing but the content is thought provocative with their juxtaposed car and gas symbols.
