Inspired by this[URL='
https://oscraps.com/community/media/grow.362319/'] awesome layout [/URL]by @AJM I decided to try the tutorial too.

I had initially intended to create a white-space layout but for some reason those usually tend to end up... well, this white space layout ended up in a box full of stuff....
