The second exercise is the adaptation of exercise #1 on a page spread layout.
The third exercise is a short reinterpretation for the layout of the novel Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor.
The layout is geometrical and the text boxes are aligned to the bottom of the page to abstractly emulate the skyline of a city. After every comma I've introduced a blank space to give a breath of silence within all the noises described in the text.
