Book layout

There are 42 pages in my book.
Below is the first page of my book. I used the same font as I did on the front page in order to link the front cover and the contents of the book together, I also believe this makes my book flow better.



















The page after this first page is a double page spread. With the text on the right page explaining what the book is about and what the text content will be.
Below are the 3 images which I feel link the images together. On all 3 of these pages I have used white text and centered it to make it different from the rest of the pages.




Below is and example of one of the other pages of my book. I have used 'Microsoft Sans Serif'  after my first page. I wanted to use a text which was plain so that it would be easier to read. I also kept text to the left page in the bottom right hand corner to keep it simple and easier to read. I find that when books have a simple layout that follows the same pattern throughout it makes it easier for me to read. I wanted to do this incase anyone reading this book was dyslexic and ultimately I did not want a book that would be hard for me to read myself.



The middle page does alter from the above outline as I have a series of images lined up left to right as they happen, I felt that gives the book some diversity. As this spread below is on the central page I feel it breakes the book down slightly and gives a new point of interest as it is set on two pages. I did not want to include text with this spread but leave the viewer guessing as to what it was that I was trying to portray. What I am actually trying to show in a physical  format is the stress and stain it is to be dyslexic by balancing books on my head until they finally all tumble off.
