So as you can see, my final has changed a lot from my rough drafts. I got a lot of comments on how the pages didn't seem cohesive and that the bright colors were overwhelming and everything just seemed too busy. So i toned it way down, used a cohesive ocean-like background on each of the four main pages and with just a tad bit of layering over that so that it didn't seem too distracting. I also used only real-landscape pictures to dull it down a bit instead of bright highly saturated images.
