When I view AXA I get the feeling of closure more so then when I view Ethics. I'm thinking it's because the cartoon characters are outside of the square frames on the Ethics page and because the boxes in the lower section are each a different size and contain text outside of each box. I feel more unsettled when I review Ethics. I feel more certain of definitive connections when I look at AXA. There are several clearly defined boxes with well positioned artwork and content inside each. The small pieces of content around the outside of the page serves as a border to the page for me. Again, thanks for sharing your theory. Jill Hi Marc —
