    Keep to the grid

    Very nice design but… When doing a grid layout it's vital to keep to the intended grid. If you want to think "outside the box" do so sparsely and with a purpose. The first page has a different width than the second one. Don't know if they are to be sequential but if they are, align them to the same grid and you're set.

    I believe aligning everything to a 12 paragraph grid will sort out most of your problems.

      Also: Typo - Use normal text weight for bread. The Read the rest… has a totally different design style. Put in a box or just leave it in a link color. The pink is a bit too dark. Think about the contrast for readability.
