This book really excited me, each page with different layouts, type and image. Its designed by Mark Blackman who has got a really interested way of laying out editorial work. The three books are on fishing, hunting and camping and straight away there is a creative twist to all these.
First i absolutely love spot colour he has used on the photographs, normally it can be quite cliché but he has used it in a way that really supports the book. Bold colours on a half tone image to create something that's not just an image any more but used within the text aswell.
I think the reversed out page titles work really well over the images leaving the body copy to dominate other pages in a very minimal and simple way.
All in all i really do love these books, really well thought out and designed, and beautifully presented in the tartan cover. I want to use some of these techniques to excite viewers when looking at my work.
