This is the direction I want to move with. I'm playing with the pinstriping for decoration. I'm torn between doing the pages with no pin stripes and then decorating afterwards (like how its done in the real world), or designing the pages from the start incorporating the striping in as the image goes down.

No doubt it will work itself out and end up being some combination of both. Anyway, this is just a little test to see if I like it.
