Layout ideas
As shown by these practice layouts below, I want the images found and gathered to dominate the spread, so I have explored ways that this could work and where the text could sit around the images. Obviously it depends on the scale of the images found as to where they fit best on the page, but I want to have various layouts that all fit to the same grid, but mix the spreads up a bit to allow the reader to keep interest.

Rachael Taylor designs
Rachael is mainly an illustrator and specialises in surface pattern designs, but I came across her site and really liked the hand drawn type work she has done. She developed an early style in her work which was relevant to many different contexts and many different companies wanted her designs. Clientel examples include: Paperchase, Graham & Brown, WH Smith, Target, UK Greetings, American Greetings, Tigerprint (for Marks & Spencer UK) Hanes Paper, Verbaudet, Redwood and many more. Even her website design took on her style of work:
