dig 2, layout/tableaux assignment.
Here are some current/actual examples.


























A simple but effective visual prose - a robust, interesting. layout. and also enjoy, some visual gossip, extra stuff from fashion week, held last week in NYC, whether it's miscellanea or marginalia, its your call.

Do consider, please, how the layouts fit together or how they contrast. Do they collide visually, against their neighbor or entreat you towards the next page or image ?
Consider the conversation that the page elements must be having amongst themselves. Is it a nice chat over a latte or a sibling's screaming match ?



Then look far, far, below, for a much earlier post on the genius Alexi Brodovitch, and please compare/contrast all this recent work, this current approach with his.

Please try to remember everyone ! 
there always should be enough cake !
(personally, that just about sums it up for me, at least metaphysically) I do have other opinions, on other less corporeal topics, but eugenistically at least, the cake bit covers just about everything of actual importance. It can be, as other great philosophic insights have been, applied universally, to seemingly, all human concerns, conundrums and constructs.
 
Let there be cake !  I mean really, .... what else is there to say ?
