Layouts I Love 27 • Azure, Jan-Feb 2026

Azure’s Jan-Feb issue is a nice exercise in colour blocking. The cover uses a pretty simple trick to make the image feel dynamic. You ever do this trick in your designs? Why not?

The “small wonders” lighting spread is pretty. It breaks its own grid by floating images on top. It’s a nice composition.

I’m a sucker for text that types itself off the page. Nobody likes this comparison but it’s very Zune in a way I appreciate.

And this issue isn’t getting away before I compliment this nice orange gradient in the book reviews section, contrasting the pink 3D mockup nicely.
