Example 1: Hey Design Studio Website
I love how the negative space flows in this layout. It's something I would like to mirror in my layouts. The white-on-black text matches well the brand guidelines I hoped to establish in my website here.
Example 2: Hibrayer 23
I like the solo elements present here. I think they would make for cool visual elements to scatter in my book. The occasional large character may make a stark visual accent.
Example 3: Website Design (UI/UX)
The white-on-black section has some interesting moments to it, using the bold type to make for hierarchy where color and symbol doesn't have a place. I'll be doing the same thing in my website.
Example 4: Magazine Template
I like the balance between image and text in this layout. The single-column design matches what I would need to make The Analects. While I worry about integrating images in that way, the text layout at least may provide useful.
