Make another two layouts, 28cm wide by 9.5cm high.

Using the images provided, create four original layouts - one horizontal, and one vertical using the golden mean proportion, the other two (horizontal and vertical) using a 6x6 grid.

You can use as much body text as you wish. You can use any number of images.

Pease be aware of your design elements alignments. Make sure tops and bottoms align appropriatly.
