Why: the goal or problem

A plant catalog helps new gardeners compare pictures, light and watering notes. Unequal card sizes give some plants more prominence and make facts drift. Equal treatment matters more than preserving every image’s original proportions.

How: work toward a solution

Use square plant photographs above the same two care fields. Filter to bright sunlight to show rosemary, or restore all three plants. Equal cards share the row height; narrow screens stack them in reading order.

What: the concept

A uniform grid aligns equal-width items in shared rows. It works when items carry similar information. Varied text lengths can leave empty space; masonry trades that alignment for tighter packing.
