TEXT Pages

This is the two pages layout that I like the most.

The reasons why I think this is very effective are that:

• The black and white background has very strong contrast, even it seems a little messy at the first glance, but actually, you can feel the city moment immediately.
• Then you see the words, you know why the background like this.
• The text here using the same color with the background---Black and White. You can hardly see the words first because of the color, so, it gets the kind of mysterious feeling and make viewers curious. 
• For sure the designer made this effect on purpose. The words "CONCEAL" "SHADOWING" shows the concept. "CONCEAL" hides in the black color and shows up half by contrast with the white part. "Shadowing" and "You" just so white and bright, like a highlight in this photo. I guess the designer was thinking---you were concealed in this busy. boom city.
• The text font is very simple, just imagine what the pages would look like if the font is very complicated? That will be too much I think.

Thus, I like the way how color combining in these two pages and the text color choosing. Also, the combination between messy background and simple font, mysterious but clearly powerful.
