Progress for magazine #1

Starting on this project I knew I wanted to do something on an older picture. I also wanted to so something about someone that wasn't from this country and that not too many Americans are well aware of. The photo I chose was of a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk by the name of Thich Quang Duc who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on June 11, 1963. a lot of Americans believe that it was in protest of the Vietnam War. It was actually in protest of the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government led by Ngo Dinh Diem.

Here is my rough draft for my magazine spread.
