Cancún Debate : Publication Development

I am not sure about the front and back inside cover pages. The photography is gentle and sets the tone of calm debate. However the use of Franchise seems to cheapen the introduction. Originally I had used Garamond, but it was too formal. I have now changed the serif typeface to Georgia which has rounder serifs and is less formal, but still intellectual.
Other than that I am happy with the spreads and their order. I am now considering sending it to print.
