Nordstrom: Following, Bending & Breaking the Rules

The composition is the classic triangle of a Renaissance master; focus on any element of the picture and the eye is led around the triangle until it returns to the centerpiece—the spectacular Julia Roberts-like smile that would light up an entire room.

The only violation of the triangle is the model’s sandy right big toe and left leg; both point to the edge of the cover, the implication being, “Open me! Open me!” And I cannot imagine not opening this catalog with so happy a photo on the cover.
