#1  – first of all in this example, the designer breaks the guide system with irregular lines. outlines on page are in a relation with header and illustration. also in order make a hierarchy some texts on the right page are on irregular drawn boxes. pages are divided into 3 columns for texts. texts are left aligned. on the right page, irregular drawn boxes breaks the systematic rule of page, which makes it look less boring.

 

#2 – in this example, the structure of page can be easily seen. the designer completely obey the structure while putting texts and images. on the left page, an image put on the background and 2 boxes to seperate texts and header from image, and to make  it more readable. the right page divided into 3 columns. even the quotation text with brackets and images which are put on a box on the bottom are not divided, they are still in a relation with the whole structure of the page.

 

#3 – in this example, the whole 2 page is divided with a rectangle, which also divides title+subtitle from the whole page on the left. the ‘+= signs on the top of the pages make a continuity. on the center of the left page, an image divides texts. the structures on both pages are alike, but because of the different lenght of information, the designer tried to make a balance by putting some texts on the top of the image (right page), and by putting ‘+’ signs on the bottom of the page.

 

#4 – this example looks like the example #2. but apart from #2, this one breaks the structure with titles typography and  position of subtitle. the left page divided into 2, and you can see that from texts. width of texts are same, and they are in a relation with the position of header.

 

#5 – the left page texts and images are put on a green box. the green box made the text more readable even the designer used blended images. the photo of the man on the center and the image on the top right of the left page is breaking the structure. on the right page again blended images are kind of breaking the structure.
