With the theory of Communism in mind, the CM has been placed with a fair and equal grid system. Each CM has equal distance from each other, as if everything is the same so its a fair society/design. However, with the reality of Communism, a big man CM has been placed. This is to demonstrate that there is always one leader, normally a totalitarian.
This is too busy, no space for text and can't see the main leader CM well enough.
This works better because the main leader CM can be easily seen, its the attention grabber and most prominent part of the design, much like a communistic society.
The design now has been properly spaced out, and moved to the left. This is to signify the lefty thinking of Communist thinking.
The typeface is Superclaredon Regular, this is a font from the 1840's when the Manifesto was originally written. I didn't want to use a Russian looking typeface because it would of been too much. The design is blocky and bold enough without the text being it too. Also that kind of style wouldn't work because Marx wasn't Russian, and the book is not about Communist graphic design and propaganda.
