I've been thinking of getting back to designing a bit. Maybe WordPress block patterns would be a good jumping in point. I had fun playing around with this audio pattern (using Eksell theme). There's just so much unexplored territory with patterns right now.

Alternate pattern:

Explored some other audio block pattern options earlier this morning. One of the limiting factors is no way to customize the audio player. Better spacing controls would go a long way too.

I might as well continue this thread. Another pattern idea that uses the Cover and Columns blocks as the main layout elements. I'm also using the Spacer block but would rather have direct margin/padding controls.
