    I need a very thorough critique of the following piece..

    http://evanmade.com/storage/Fina…

    Here is the criteria for the assignment:
    + Format (7.5 by 10.5 inches)
    + It all must fit on a spread
    + About six images (I have 5)
    + It should represent a possible layout for an entire textbook about typography/type designers/type history

    What I would like feedback on:
    + Use of negative/white space (is there enough? Is it interesting?
    + Type color (and I am not talking about the red)
    + Relevance and arrangement of images
    + Use of footnotes, image captions and other secondary test
    + Hierarchy
    + General typographic style/following rules, appropriate glyphs, etc

    Some info about my design:
    + its on a 5 column grid.
    + Text is set 9/13 x 13p4 (strange measure, I know) Scala and Scala Sans

    Oh, and I have thick skin. Please don’t hold back. Prompt feedback would be excellent. (Sorry about the second thread, I just need some feedback quickly)
