Cassava Blog/Article concept

First dribbble shot sooo ...
Here's a snippet of a blog/article concept I've been mulling over for an upcoming project. I've always enjoyed the feel of well thought-out magazine and book layouts so this is an attempt to parallel that breathability and feeling.

Obviously this layout is for a non-mobile screen. I'm still working through the best experience on mobile and also about adding some subtle transitions on page load/exit. More to come.

Lastly, thanks to @Ian Williams ∞ for the invite!
