Why Not Associates - Steel Works

Purely for aesthetic reasons i've looked at these two pages, forgetting about narrative for now and just thinking on the design of the pages. Symmetrical nowadays is boring but it doesn't mean you don't have to use a grid system. These spreads do just that, non-symmetrical yet still adhering to some form of grid. The other thing i personally like is the use of the blocks and how they interact with the text, but the page still has that rugged feel to it. Another thing is how the layout and use of colour compliments the context of the article and book, this being steel works. The blocks of rusty colour are simple, but it does portray this sense of sheets of steel. Simple technique, very effective in backing up the context of the articles and the book.
