Test print and Critique 27/03

I have done a test print to see how well I like my college concepts with my text. There are a few adjustments to me made such as:

The front cover:

I am not happy with this layout and I don't think it's working for me. This could be because of scale, the font being too big, the design in general isn't working, the images my not be bold and clear enough to show my 3 destinations

So what I'm going to do now is de scale the font, and make 'interaction' and 'in' smaller because they don't need to be a main focus point. I will also play around with textures and compositions for my cover collage

I want to create a more organic front cover which will relate and tie in well with my collages.

Map:

The map composition isn't working for me either again, as scaled this up from being smaller to give the page more character, but I don't think this size is working for my spread, and is over powering. 

So I will de scale this down again and see how it looks along side with a Key-telling us which each destination is. 

Exotic:

This collage is probably the weakest out of them all. So what i have in mind is to de scale it bit, as its pushing the font a bit too much, and bring the orange circle scale down and try bring the group of people to main focus point.

I will try moving the yellow circle directly behind them, and bring scale in, and make the sign bigger as its starting to fade away abit.

Marine:

This collages fish nose is slightly being cut off in the middle of the page, so I will need to scale this collage down as its an awkward scale too to the left. I will also bring it up bit as it feels like it may be sliding off the page. 

Another point I noticed on this image is the eye is being pulled around a bit, and this is due to the large symbols and the thick lines between then text.

So what I'm going to do is make these lines between the text thinner- and this will go for every spread. Im also going to swap the symbols and time over as the heavier symbols will lead your eye into the collage. I will also scale these down.
