Pair a dense full-page illustration with a sparse facing title page, using a repeated geometric module to frame the title. Build figures from flat silhouettes and reserve internal detail for checkerboards, stripes, and other small repeating patterns; use mirroring or stepped scale changes to organize scenes. Carry the same accent colors and ornament fragments into reading pages through marginal notes, folios, and opening or closing marks. For a new subject, replace the narrative figures, objects, and border motifs while retaining the illustration-to-whitespace contrast and consistent typographic hierarchy.
