Use a drop cap, say four lines deep and text wrap it to indicate the start of the article, as it is now your text looks like it could be a continuation of something from the previous page. Don't make the paragraphs much more than a hundred words and try not to use a line space between pars, indent them (a whole page of text with line spaces between pars uses up too much space). Instead of reversing out the byline and photo credits put them above or below the text. No captions here? OK it's more a decorative spread but a reader might wonder where the pics are from. No subdeck/standfirst anywhere to take the reader from the pics...headline...story? The subdeck is a good place to put the author and photographer.
Some good points but you haven't commented on the style aspect which is important in your planning.
