Early layout styles & progress

I've produced some early layout styles today based on a portrait dimensioned book. I tried some landscape layouts but it wasn't working so I left them, and most guide books I have found on my research have been portrait.

I have used a 3 column grid to place the elements and have only completed one style so far, but it is a complete "section" of the book that follows someone from their work place and finished with a review of the restaurant.

It still needs some work but I am quite happy with the progress made.

Tomorrow I will look at the cover for the book. My original concept of keeping it fairly plain with an embossed title might not be suitable as all the guidebooks are brightly coloured, with a strong image, to try and grab the attention of anyone browsing them.
