Work in Progress #1: Getting basic shapes and gridding down, to help with the overall flow of the design to come.

WiP #2: Adding lorem ipsum to emulate the text I've written for design implementation later. Playing with the grid more as well as typographical elements.

WiP #3: A different variation with a stricter grid, this is before adjusting tracking/leading/kerning to help typographical flow.

WiP #4: At this point I have a solid idea of the design layout I'm going to stick with, I implement a rough draft of my article, as well as images indicative of the style I'm emulating.

WiP #5: More fine-tuning and adjusting, working with typefaces and different shapes to help the design flow.

Final: The final design, the example image has been changed to better represent the style, as well as various detail adjustments previous iterations overlooked. There are still some nuances I may go back in and fix, but for now this is the design I've settled on and am very comfortable presenting.
