without pattern-explanation

I think layout will come down to which way it reads better. I think it's best to start with the fortune cookie then the copy and the then the "election facts" But more importantly i think the fortune cookie needs to come before the copy. Too bad i think it's more attractive with the copy up top.

I like that it feels kind of dated like an old resteraunt menu.

I saw a lot of posters over the weekend that explore non-traditional layout of obejects. Usually there's a reason that supports the design of course. I like the top left with some adjustment because the election facts are top far left and i think that ads a bit of tension plus reminds me of the wrapper in how that information is just kind of randomly displayed wherever it showed up as the roll of plastic was wrapped around the cookie. Things that make since to me though, rarely translate well. I need to work on that.

These images get a little but messed up when downloaded here. Like around the striped part of the border. working on my 12 inch screen i didn't notice as much how some things are off center. I'll edit that.
