Questions for 'show and tell' crit.

After printing things out, I feel that the shade of the blue is too dark. Do you agree or do you feel it works as it is?

I'm not 100% happy with the stocks i've experimented with for my double page spreads. I thought having a white stock would be too much of a contrast and very bright. Do you have any suggestions? I would prefer a matt finish.

Do you think the website works? Do you think its too minimal?
