100 book;

I'm proud to now be part of a heroic team consisting of will jonny and liam, so i thought id give them a chance to leave a comment and help me out, continuing with the book, concentrating on range of font, colour and illustrations i'm playing around with new page layouts, 

firstly,
so here i have two versions for the same page, the bottom is using two fonts, the title is NU_century gothic and the trick names and detail is Amsterdam graffiti all in white.  Also the illustration for the 360 is a simple vector image. Above I've changed the font around a fiar bit, the title is stylin' BRK along with the trick names and the description is a basic font named MankSans. Aswell changing the colour about a bit and using a block illustration.  I decided this as to make sure the detail which is the information on the page and what is there to be read is clear and easy to read, as on the bottom there's more clarification on the title than the description which i feel is wrong.
From here iv gone to this,
Keeping the font as it was, and choosing the vector illustration as it goes with the other one and also is in my opinion more clear as an 'How to guide'. At this moment though im not to sure on whether to use all white text, black and white or just black.
suggestions guys?
My idea atm is to, keeping in mind that my pages are a5 so this is a variation of 1 page, to have the top page all white, then bottom all black, again what you think?

Hey dude, first time I've had a chance to see your stuff. Gotta get a proper look some time next week.

Really liking the style, the mix between the vector illutrations and the graffiti style is great. I like the sound of one page black, one white idea. How about one page black and white, one full coulour? Maybe try using a photo for the background (something that suits the boarding style), and layering your vector illustrations over the top?
