Marceline Pamphlet Marker Comp

My marker comp for the Marceline brochure is a four panel, roll-fold, 8.5"x14" pamphlet. PamPHLET, excuse me. I am happy with the way I comped it - I think it's clean and the copy fitting is very tight - but I don't think my design is particularly original. There's too much white space, everything is square, and it's boring. I think I had a hard time thinking of the brochure as a whole, and I designed the panels individually. I guess the challenge with designing by hand is still remembering all the options a computer program gives you with regards to design. But (to focus on the bright side) my marker comp is pretty detailed, right down to the tiny hand-lettered street names on the map. I'm most happy with the rendering of the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, because it looks exactly like the photograph. Another note - I outlined Mickey with a thicker stroke around the edge, and it does make him pop out - voila! I was surprised. Anyway, here are the pictures, title side first:
