Layout from issue 1 of Emigre

In Emigre, VanderLans wanted to communicate the struggle of the immigrant artists through his layouts and so in an effort to create that emotion, VanderLans rejected traditional layouts.  For the first issue, VanderLans used a Xerox machine to enlarge and shrink typewriter fonts. He also decided to tear the images that were to be featured in his magazine and collage them together instead of cleanly displaying them.
