The vibrant and contrasting colors of this spread draws the reader's attention but in a good way, because the colors again seem to blend together phenomenally, drawing attention to the important text such as his name. I particularly like the different colored lines that zig zag around the top and bottom of the page as they add personality to what would otherwise be a slightly boring page.
