The layout is very readable! however, I have one suggestion:
Left align your photo. Follow the advice of this book by Robin Williams:
"Find a strong alignment and stick to it."
"Avoid using more than one text alignment on the page (that is, don't center some text and right-align other text).

Take a look at the chapter above she shows some good examples of how to integrate images into a layout.

- csmeder 17y agoNice, I'm glad you found it useful. I would actually recommend her previous edition of the book. In this new version she trys to update it using color and it goes all wrong. She is stretching her ability past her strong points. She is EXTREMELY good at the basics, but ask her to design something in color and its just bad IMHO. This is the edition I like : http://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Typographic-Principles/dp/1566091594 http://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Typographic-...
