    Hold On Tight To The Grid

    Keep ahold of the grid it will look good if you do that.

    You have too much going on in some of these concepts, use less text and less busy images.

    Additionally, try to change up on the typography and use italics bold, and emphasis at various places to point out important things.

      Thanks for commenting. I really don't know what you mean about less text and less busy images, there is no text on it yet other than placeholder. What is busy about the images?

      You say there is too much going on yet think I should mess around with the text.

      Sorry I wasn't very clear. What I meant about the text is it seems it needs more whitespace to make it easier to read. It seems a bit crammed in places. Especially in your first image.

      Yes sorry i mean the placeholder text, perhaps it would be easier to review the text once you got the actual copy in there.

      I don't like the bitter sweets book image being in color, it contrasts too much with the black and white.

      I think just a more uniform look along with the grid would be the best.
