Poetry publication, thinking about format,

taking a similar layout from an A4 folder format, I have created a document and given myself boundaries of what is room to design in.

The overall document is
524mm X 360mm


The middle large column is the back of the document, the two either side are the flaps that connect it. On the far left is an area of the right hand side that I cannot put anything on as it is covered by the left flap.

Logo development, 



-------------------------------------------------------
Testing out layout on format:

Testing out through print test,




 



I am starting to think about whether the logo should be relative to the content? Should the poetry be themed by a subject as well as a style of typography?
Should the logo change for every issue?

Or should I use the logo to create a pattern that can cover the left flap?



What about the other publications?
I need to distinguish how I want these to work as a set. 
I have thought about each publication being focused on a poem theme, e.g love, nature etc...
however I also thought that the layout on the front of the page could determine the general style of typography explored inside?


Should I be producing the prints before I start developing the cover?
