14. Start with Placement of the Dominant Photo

15. The dominant photo guides the placement of an eyeline running horizontally across the spread.

16. The dominant photo strategically guides the eye into the headline and story module.

17. Secondary photos are placed around the dominant, maintaining the eyeline and following the column grid.

18. Captions are placed within the column grid and to the outside rather than between the photos.

19. FINAL RESULTS | Guides, margins, eyeline and column grid disappear leaving effectively-organized content.

20. Photo blocks become content modules. Modular design fosters a unified, clean approach.
