From experimenting with the typefaces the page already began to take shape. From the idea each letter was going to have a double page spread with the body text on the left and image on the right with the same layout on every page keeping it consistent. from the research look at other publication the layout was going to minimal with white space so everything could breath. From the typeface experiments the 3 typeface was going to be DIN Alternate, Helvetica Neue and Monaco, i started off by having just the capital letter on the page above the type however it need more it was too basic and boring a small change in the design by having in capitals and not next to each other it just gave the page a bit more to look at. next from a book called Type Only it had the page number and the artist name across the top of the page, tried this out on the layout and came out well instead of an artist it has has the name of the location this will be on every page. however at the bottom of the page it looked bare and plain. Decided to added the text on the bottom as well the square it off it keep everything together and looks like it holding everything in square.
The image on the page need to be centred and to be the same size and shape on very page as the page needed to be consistent. As the type most of the image was landscape the decisions was made to make it square this also work with the page layout. The size of the image was as big it could be with a nice size board around it to allow for the spine and also the edges for when cutting it.
