I want the text pages to be all the same, very plain.  Their purpose
is not to compete with the photos; the'r purpose is to provide
information.  In a high-end design, the text should be separated from
the photos and that facing page just left blank, but that's
financially unfeasible; making the text plain and simple is the
closest that can be come to doing it "right".

I'm strongly opposed to having some of the text pages very different
in overall design from the others.  It will make the attempt to avoid
drawing attention less effective, I think.

Also, a mix of photos and photo-word-word-art-pieces is a less
cohesive whole than a collection of photos.
