GESTALT EXERCISE
After studying about Gestalt Theory for Designing, we have a practice exercise: using available images and text to illustrate 2 following concept : proximity and closure. Because the title “ The secret life of plants”, I decide to represent 2 ideas: plants and sex. Firstly, I decide to make the title lie on the curve, I mean sexy curve and make it look like the body of the flower. Available images are clipped mask to shapes of flowers ‘ petals. On the other hand , the curve of shape of the paragraphs are also made to follow the curve of the title.

I like the shape of a flower you have made by the title and the mask of images. The body texts are also well arranged.
The "S" shape is the body of the flower petal and it seems quite attract the eyes.
Some very nice ideas. There are, however some problems. The fact that you've done your S shape on the left side of the page means that, effectively, your body text is right-aligned, which can be very hard to read.
The other problem is the real distortion of the title text and font. Not so attractive, but I definitely get what you were aiming for.
Nice experimentation.
