Default Storyboard A or B?

I will send this 10x20 storyboard off to the printer but I'm not too certain which one, if either, or maybe a different combination.

A

B

I am a newbie trying to parlay into the "don't just look but respond threads" so here goes. Don't know a thing about how you are using this storyboard and maybe I am guessing wrong here but here goes ... Other life publications editor response -- if I have to choose one I pick the second. The first one made me tilt right away and my eye got smaller as I moved along. If I can make a suggestion as to the second one, it is to make the far right photo visually appear the same size as the left to balance the full three thirds effect. Am I anywhere close to what you are doing?

I prefer the second one. I think the black background really makes the photos pop. Especially with the orange. Also, the first one felt a bit heavy on the left side. That might just be me though! You have a beautiful subject by the way!

Thank you.

I do think the orange 'pops' on the black background too.

I will attempt to adjust that.

Definitely the second one, Lori. The orange pops against the black, and I also like the symmetry.

Both look great!!!

But for me, i take the fonts of the second one to the first one and that will be my "C" choice for the printer.

Hope that helped.

sorry..I'm going to play "devils advocate" here...I like A...I like the lighter background, I don't know about white, but I think I would like a brighter background. I personally like the arrangment of the photos in the 1st one also, I don't know why, I just do.
adorable little girl by the way, I like the photos alot.

regards
mike

I prefer the second. The black is a great contrast to the orange and I like the balance better.

Thank you all. I will try some of these combos and let the grandmother make her selection.
