Stido Brief 3 - Layout and grid Ideas

I had came up with a number of grid and layout ideas for my publication. Below are the main ones that i think can work and move forward with.

The text would be on a diagonal decline. Each spread would be 3 columns. In the each column would be an image of a stamp and a piece of text.

The spread would be a 3 column layout, with text displayed at the bottom. Visuals will be large and above the text, to keep the reader engaged.

Right side would be a large image of the queen. The queen would be overlayed by a colour making it more subtle, which will allow the text to still be seen without it being overpowered by whats behind it. Right side would be 3 columns of text which would save a lot of space, giving it a modern look and feel.

Right hand side would be a 2 column layout with only text based information while the right hand side would be an image of a stamp book, in the same look as my designs in brief 2. I think this idea would work perfectly but i might want to try and make the left hand side more visual but maybe adding in an image or some colour.

This layout would preserve a lot of white space, opening up the page. Large piece of type would scale across both spreads with 3 columns of information on the right hand side.

Very modern look, on the right hand side would be the image of the Queen with nothing else. On the right would be a 2-column layout where all the information would be. The Queen’s portrait would link in with the stamps and the empty space would allow to simple flow onto the next page. I love this idea. However i think i may need to some how make the queen portrait stand out as it may be over powered by the text on the right.

On the right hand side would be in large type "Facts" that will indeed be very visually impactful and get the attention of the reader. Other side of the spread will be a 3 column layout to hold all the text in an modern looking style.
