Just watched your Relume Design League challenge vs Fons Mans and it was mind-blowing to see how fast you whipped up a design that was both visually cohesive and structured, yet playful and unorthodox in just the right doses. For example: the Features section. Very easy to resort to traditional three column layouts or bento grids, but you pulled that beautiful masonry grid out of nowhere. I thought masking one of the images in a circle made for beautiful juxtaposition against the two square images. When it comes to crafting these unique layouts, how are you finding off the beaten path solutions that aren't garish in relation to the rest of the page so quickly? Is it just a mental repository of layouts you've accumulated in your mind after years of experience, or is there a mental process you have that helps you find a more calculated solution?

I have a repository for references, and I would like to know how do you know who designed each website listed on Footer.design to add the same category to my repo. Do you ask the company? Do you just search on Google or what?
