Aside from good pics, there are plenty of ways to enliven a feature, making it more readable/digestible.

• Some suggestions:
  Box outs. Take one element of the feature, and run it as separate piece, ideally with its own image.

• Easy to read and looks great, especially over a double page spread or longer.
  • Lists/bullet points/charts/graphs.
