Florence and the double page spread

This double page spread is very Q,
It follows general conventions of DPS's 3 coloums, BIG text and one giant picture. The image is big and tight, however there are a few things I would change (more on that later. The image follows the grid rule, her 'lady lumps' are in direct line with the text, "sex sells" A few other things are on the grid.

Face

Her face is on the direct 1st column line

Got the love

This caption is on the top horizontal line

Drop Capital

The drop capital hits the inter section of the bottom horizontal line and the right vertical line

The fact these hit the lines show just how precise the image was whilst being taken. The attention to detail will be hard to replicate (I'm only one man damn it!) but I will give i t a go

The text is in three columns I noticed this was not only a trend but it is also a code. The is just the right size not to be overwhelming but not seem so short. I will HAVE to do this in my magazine as this is done in almost 99% of typical magazines.

Pun - USA got the love. It seems like the writing has to be witty when in comes to grabbing reader attention, this is somthing I ntend to follow. Big text means big voice i guess...

Colours are very contrasting, Florence wears black and the rest of the document is white or light grey. This means she stands out as well as the text. As the subject of the text Florence needs to "blend out" with everything. Also the use of red on the flag  and her hair mix so she doesn't seem so out of place.

The image is also a metaphor, Athe flag representing america and she is sitting on it so she is "on top of America".
