What is design for print? - Revised layout

After looking back at my initial layout design, I noticed there was no definitive structure and organisation so I decided to devise a revised layout based on my new 'top 10'. The following was my original design:

Using Illustrator, I created the following CMYK and RGB colour palettes as the images I found online had a low resolution and were pretty awful design-wise. These would be featured on the main 'colour' page.

I used a simple, 3 column layout, with the content appearing in just two of these in order to create white space (a theory of which was explained in Graham's type workshop). I used a darker grey for the subheadings and a light grey for the body copy. Towards the bottom of the page, I showcased what category the content belonged to along with the colours featured on that page.

I then added a header which gave a brief outline as to what the content explains in more depth. I used the serif font, Bitter in order to create an interesting contrast between the heading and content.

Large content pages featuring segmented type which allowed me to increase the type in size. Due to the large font surrounded by a lot of white space, this creates an immediate starting point for a specific section in the manual..

The A0 and B0 series charts found online were a little dull therefore using the colours featured in my multi-tonal images (below), I created two charts. These used a range of tonal values of a particular spot colour, decreasing the smaller the page becomes.

I added more images to break up the amount of text and provide visuals which the user could reference the content against in order to further their understanding.
