There is something about asymmetric layouts that I like a great deal. It seems to make a design almost always more interesting to look at, and sort of unique. And can also help guide a user through content.

For the Retail Week homepage mockup, I tried to do just that on a small scale and include a degree of asymmetry to a couple of sections.

Note: This design contains stock photography images, some of which may have been used in other projects of mine.
