The double page spread features Florence and the Machine. The large image of Florence sitting on an American flag relates to the article content and draws the reader's eyes from left to right towards the information. Clever placement and imagery connects the visual to the story. The headline references one of Florence's most famous songs, familiarizing readers and enticing them to learn more. Thoughtful design directs the flow of information across both pages.
