Fig 2.2 16 Visuals Thumbnails

The size of the book was being confirmed on task 1 exercise 2

Fig 2.3 Book Size

Then, the grid was also determined on task 1 exercise 5

Fig 2.4 Grid

--------------------

So, this is my first try of the layout. This layout is being rejected as the font size are too small and the grid is not the same as my chosen grid.

Fig 3.1 First Try

Next is my second try for the layout. This layout being rejected as the headings are too fancy as they being horizontally displayed.

Fig 3.2 Second Try

Later is my third try of the layout.

Fig 3.3 Third Try

This third is the last layout that I tried as this layout is being accepted but the problem is the font of the body text,

Headings & Sub-headings Font: Robot Crush

Body Text Font: Prestige Elite Std

Main Colour: #313131

Later on is design the cover page.

Fig 3.4 Cover Page

I making this cover page minimalist with just a side view of Toyota GR Supra at the middle o the page, it don't actually stay inside the box makes the hierarchy. 

This is my final spread thumbnail for the book.

Before printing the actual book, I do a mock up just for reference.
