Are these double page spreads? If so you need to take care where the fold is. The trick is to try and avoid the fold but still make it look like the two pages (left and right) relate. Perhaps there is a danger at the moment in your work getting a bit too complicated ie too many ideas on one page. The small text (song lyrics) where you are emphasising different words could work as an idea on its own and quite minimally. Maybe a precious verse or chorus on its own surrounded by space. Try cooling things down without it going dull. Maybe look at Helmut Schmid: http://www.schmidtoday.com/index.php?lang=eng&nodeid=102 Or Anthong Froshaug: http://www.thinkingform.com/2012/10/20/thinking-anthony-froshaug-10-20-1920/ Or Peter Saville: http://moderntypography.com/Books/Flora/index.html
Yes, they are double page spreads. And I was thinking that perhaps I’m trying to put too many ideas into one spread. I’m having a go at paring it down on the next one. Will put them together and look at the flow too. Thanks for the references again! M
