There is a a beauty to this spread as a single image but given that is is a spread where two pages meet in the middle, space will be lost in the middle because of the binding. The chapter heading, video component and the major character's face may be lost. So check that out. The image also is beautiful and compelling with the horses stampeding but portraying only white soldiers is problematic in that the history of the West includes the annihilation of Native Americans. We should discuss this in class. The color palette and type choices are strong. The text reads well except for the vertical treatment of Chapter 18 which is a bit dissonant. You might consider including some serif type (Garamond) in some of the text copy. Much to discuss in class. I'm glad you completed this round of the first spread.
