Publication Project - Final Mock

I managed to get a lot done over Easter, which is lucky as we are showing our final mockups tomorrow. My final publication weighs in at sixty pages broken down as follows:

• Cover 250gsm Xper uncoated
• Dedication (page 1) 110gsm GSK Transparent
• Pages 3-40 140gsm Xper uncoated
• Photography section (pages 41-60) 170gsm Freelife Gloss

The idea is to spend the first 40 pages showing the ins and out of amateur astronomy, with an attempt to focus on the DIY "garden shed" nature of the hobby, juxtaposed with the final 20 pages that are a sort of showcase of some of the stunning images my friends have captured with modest kit. The change of paper stock signals the shift in focus and quality from DIY to high-tech.

Anyway, here's my mock cover and a couple of the spreads:
