Editorial two-image spread with a large italic-serif pull quote up top, a full-height action photo at left, and dense two-column body copy closing on a handwritten signature.
Summary
A first-person letter from Serena Williams laid out editorially: a big italic-serif pull quote spans the top, a full-height photo of her on a tennis court anchors the left, and tight two-column body text ends with a handwritten "With gratitude, Serena" and signature.
Visual description
A mostly white spread. Top-right, a four-line italic serif pull quote ("I've always believed the world isn't one color...") sits as the largest type on the page. Below it the layout becomes magazine-like: a tall photograph of Serena standing on a teal-and-green court fills the left column, a second smaller framed photo sits mid-right, and two narrow columns of small sans body copy run down the middle and right. The letter closes lower-right with "With gratitude, Serena" in italic serif over a looping handwritten signature. The Nike running header and "People Future Address" label sit on a hairline at the top; page number 20 is bottom-left.
Key takeaway
Opening a personal letter with an oversized italic-serif pull quote, then dropping into disciplined small two-column body copy, with a real handwritten signature to close. The mix of one tall image plus one small inset breaks the text grid without decoration.
Reuse notes
Ideal for a founder, CEO, or athlete letter inside a report or brand book. The serif pull quote plus sans body plus handwritten signoff reads as sincere and editorial. Needs genuinely good portrait photography and tight copy editing to keep the dense columns legible.
