Typically, the eye gravitates from the top left to the bottom right corner of a page. However, this poster weaves its text and images along the curve of a spiral, directing the viewer to follow its direction. The title of the exhibition stands out first due to the size of the typography and then the eyes are left to flow counter-clockwise through the piece as the second vital piece of information, the date, lies at the center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"982\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/raynalai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13237\/2021\/09\/IMG_4153.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/raynalai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13237\/2021\/09\/IMG_4153.jpg 717w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/raynalai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13237\/2021\/09\/IMG_4153-219x300.jpg 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">In Tom McCarthy\u2019s novel, <em>Satin Island<\/em>, designer Peter Mendelsund uses splashes of <strong>colour<\/strong> to add interest to the cover art.
