NEW LAYOUTS
This was an interim design which I like and would want to see what your comments are...
This one was a hybrid...
This is what I'm proposing as the FINAL content page layout. I think I'm done...

Comments About Layout: Jonathon Harris
Matt,
It's not my background, per say, but I like the titles better in the previous layouts / the way you have them on white. The titles over the right page seem to disappear for me, losing the section I'm in. The full images are nice to have larger like that, but the topo section line feels awkward cutting the images like that... Maybe a combo of the 2? Using the more bold titles look, over the full images? This could also be solved having section header pages (as prior), then within the sections go to the new layouts where needed?
The right page layout is looking nice, but the left page could maybe use some weight in the lower left for grounding against the right. Maybe a black box / inverted white text?
Just rough ideas. Looking great man!

Matt,
I think it looks good! Is the border going to be applied to every sheet? I only ask because the border is very dominant in your spreads and I think draws attention away from the content/images.
As for the small footer images, I am not sure how I feel about them. I personally think they are too small for anyone to really see.
Overall I think the project looks great and look forward to your brown bag. :)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Comments About Layout: Todd Nichols
Matt,
They look great, don’t beat yourself up.
I don’t mind the research images along the bottom, I do however want to see some space between the pictures, this will aid in faster image recognition. “Eye ease” all pictures for that matter, they make a big glob when they all are touching edge to edge.
I would also like to see the smaller Image Captions combined instead of one at the top and one at the bottom, or if they were smaller.
I would also like if the round topped buildings shown at the bottom aligned with something, on the first page they seem to align with the title copy, on the following pages, perhaps they could be (all) reduced in width to align with the photo stack above. The same goes for the research photos along the bottoms of the right, I would like to see them stop at the left edge of the photo above,
For what it’s worth,..
My 2 cents,....

Todd,
Thanks for the comments!
Here is some response, you can tell me I’m wrong.
The research images are supposed to be more of a canvas or collage not intended to study but give texture to the content for each area of study: shape, environment, stacking, comradery, therapy, scale… there would be a different set of images. VERY similar to my prez:
MDA Final Presentation.pptx
I wanted them to run into the binding as to minimize the importance and treat them more as interest than content. The other image touching edge to edge is really a collage. The rest are seperated.
I will have to study the all-in-one caption. I was following some militar examples of manuals and isolating information to be succinct and easily recognizable.
I am trying to creat this margin of resource at the bottom. On the left page is project vignettes and the right is photo collage. The left lower corner block is my information (paired with my design) and the right lower corner block is page number (general like photo collage). So left is me, right is military.
I have aligned the bottom photos in a couple layouts with the right hand edge where the captions are right of the images treating that outside margin within the border as an info bar, ex. Page number and captions.
Which layout of information did you like better? Large center gutter with captions? Captions to far outside edge? Image content stack to inside of page toward the biding or outside? Please let me know. Thanks.

Matt,
Your descriptions make sense how the Research pics form a band this works, but the collage could still have some eye relief incorporated.
I prefer the Smaller gutters with the captions towards the outside, reminds me of National Geographic.
Images on the inside near the binding for sure.
Good Luck!

This is an option for the new full page photos. I continued the image into the binding to create a seamless edge on the inside as I don't have a line there.
