Making to understand and Ideate my work

I created a few plain white a5 booklets which will be the size of my brochure, and cut random pieces of paper, different shapes and drew different parts onto them to experiment with layout on page. Although it is very basic and can come across as messy, it was just drafts and help me understand page layout, so that it is stronger in my further works.
