Considering Layout
After a converstaion with Dom I changed how I am going to layout the content.
The book is aimed at Southerns moving up north. I will use this concept of moving 'up' north to inform the layout. To start with the information will be high up at the top of the page. It will be difficult and uncomfertable to read and almost bleed off the page. This will relate to how southerners may feel when they first move up north. As the books reads the type will move down to a more comfertable position, again, relating to how a person will feel once they have settled in.
The book itself will be long and thin in the propotions of the UK. The length will be proportional to the distance from John 'O Groats to Lands End. The with will be equivelent to the widest width of the UK.
- Horizontal Width: 437 km (271 miles) from the far western coastline of Wales, directly east to Ipswich
-Vertical Length: 967 km (600 miles) from the far northern edge of mainland Scotland to the southwestern tip of England, just west of Falmouth

The Grid could be based on the North/South boarder
Keep all type in the North
Alternatively the North takes up around 2/3 or the UK.
Again all the type would stay in the North
