Looks good the only pointers I'd give it to fix your H&J's so words aren't split across lines and you could do with some more padding around the edges, the text is a little close to the edge
Mostly as a learning experience I entered a design completion at 99designs. I My entries didn't make it but personally I'm not all that disappointed with what I was able to come up with.
My stuff is on this page. If anyone would care to have a look and provide some constructive criticism that would be really nice ;)
Thanks!

Other than what toon stated. Not to Bad. Good job.
Thats my own personal opinion though.
"Does art have to have a reason for its existence or content?"
I like it lots! Yes on the more padding, but other than that I really like it.

Justified with no hyphenation, if the text remains quite small you shouldn't get too many gaps in the text
Thanks for the suggestions... I did another version of the fish-tank theme with a larger gutter for where the brochure would be folded.
I disabled hyphenation and indeed, it actually works quite good. I decreased the size of the copy text a little bit while keeping the same leading so that the slightly larger word spaces don't become vertical rivers (11/18 -> 10.5/18). I also allowed for 95%-105% glyph scaling for justification. (I'm using InDesign CS3)

The body type is Vectora, the headings are Perpetua because that is what was used for the logo which was already existing. I had also considered Syntax and GillSans for the body type because they are a tad more organic but I settled for Vectora's better readability - and because it's Adrian Frutiger's birthday this Saturday ;)
Looks really good. I'd add a slight bit of padding under the blue block headings the body text is a little close. Nice job
