Double Page Spread comparison

After comparing my double page spread with another double page spread from Q I have decided that my layout does not meet the house style that I am trying to go for. I have decided to change the image so that it is taken portrait and only takes up one side of my spread. I will then have a white background on the right hand side. I will make my drop capital larger and add my house colour (pink) in a background box behind it so that it stands out. To add to that, I will remove the circle from behind my quote

Here are some of the improvements I have made, my next step is to take the new image.
