Vince Frost's Design Your Life book incorporates an unconventional way to display copy on the page. The irregular white boxes capture the readers attention whilst effectively communicating a informational hierarchy through the offset arrangement. What is also effective is his use of visual contrast achieved through the detailed or focused image against the blown up image used in the background. The blown up image forms an neutral background which relates to content found in the 'focused' image. Furthermore this effect of having a neutral background doesn't take much of the attention away from the intended message.
These two compositions represent how captions/quotes can be incorporated in this format. From these examples even though the layouts change with each page, the hierarchy stays consistent which keeps the content identifiable and easy to navigate.
