Circus Exercise

In photoshop we were set a task to produce 4 images that communicates the word circus.
the first image was to just communicate circus without using any text what so ever. the second was an image communicating circus and using text. the third was a vector based image with no text and the fourth was a vector based image using text and the last one was an image with minimal but still communicating circus. The catch with all these images was that we were not allowed to use the word circus at all throughout the exercise.
The following are mine.
