Typography -56- American Style

First of all I want to talk about the font. The large san-serif font feels very old school American. The author's name is a bit in the shadows which is okay, but the Author seems to be underplayed because their name is the smallest and least noticeable thing on the page. The leading on the top is also bothering me. I'm not sure if the lighter text overlapping is a stylistic thing that was once popular but it's bothering me really badly. It would have been really easy to screw that up if the colors of the two text lines didn't contrast that well.
