The placement of the elements on each page could flow more naturally from one to the next

Graphics should be oriented in a way that directs the reader's attention inward and onward, never away from the content.

Create a more consistent feel and would create more flexibility to use the content area

Content Content

Needs to stand out more and given much more emphasis.

InteractionsInteractions

The same interaction is being presented in different ways.

Keeping the format of this interaction the same throughout would enable you to use more variety in interactions.

Consistency helps learners move from one task to the next, knowing there are

certain aspects of the design that won't change.
