Invention ad rough drafts #3

I am trying similar layouts for all three to keep them consistent and elegant. I will break these down with correct sizing and spacing for title, slogan, book info, and copy.

The hierarchy of my ad will be:
-Title 
-Slogan 
-Copy 
-Book info 
and finally 
-Publisher/website, store information.

My product is a book filled with examples of ancient maps, information regarding ancient map making and a fold out poster for framing/hanging. This book is targeted to art & history lovers. Ideally the product would be sold from the publisher to Barnes and Noble stores (online and physical locations). It would be featured on Barnes and Noble website and in magazines like National Geographic: Traveler, The Magazine Antiques & Reason. Finally, there will be an ad for history buffs for the book itself.

The name of the book is:
Hidden Past, Historical Paths

The slogan is:
A view of ancient Muslim travel & exploration

It will be a literal ad. I will take inspiration from the designer David Carson, although, I will not copy his style completely. I will use the modular grid.
