These are three pages from a book about 3D typography. It became just as helpful with typography as effective book layout.

I’ve decided to go with a similar layout theme, with a white background balanced by  the imagery and text; Much like a cookery book layout, that identifies the most important part of the layout being the images of food. Which is my case is exactly the same as my imagery…is made out of food. 

All of three of these pages have a good balance of text and imagery. The book’s focus is on the imagery so there’s very little text, but how it’s positioned works within the overall layout’s of each page. I love the isolation of imagery that has no background. Instead the outlines of the shapes are the image, and the white space of the page becomes it’s background. It’s a similar look I aim to create with my design.
