# Where the two fight
# - 80’s Editorial and New Wave share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - 80’s Editorial: Type that is too small is a barrier, not a mood. Check legibility at real size.
# - New Wave: Don't multiply small decorations. Choose one starring deviation.
