This revamped quarterly magazine“Do Circus,”launched by FOCASA Circus, opens with the theme“No Pain No Gain,”exploring the raw essence of circus through the lens of pain and recovery. Designed to resemble a box of plasters, the magazine's packaging mirrors its subject matter. Inside, the content unfolds like a pharmaceutical leaflet, accompanied by playful bubble stickers and symbolic visuals that wittily allude to physical trauma—creating a reading experience that feels like a circus on paper.
