Perhaps that's why I don't like boxed in content anymore, maybe interesting layout is the way forward? I kind off like stuff that is off grid but somewhat still in a grid. Also movie posters are a good example of this sort of flow.

I am conscious that users read websites in F shapes so there's that too.

Diagnoal or hexigon based grid systems, that sort of thing. Something challenging.

All of these

I think the trick is aspect ratio.

16:9
9:24
1:1

All nice ratios that look pleasing somehow.
