<h1>1,400 volunteers, one glyph each</h1>

Two independent choices. <b>Layout</b> is where the units go: a heart, a
house, a plain grid. <b>Mark</b> is what one unit looks like: a dot, or
a pictogram. They compose, so a crowd of people can be arranged into a
heart and the same crowd can walk into a house without either choice
knowing about the other. Pick one of each.

1 glyph = 10 volunteers. Each glyph is one drawn path, filled in its own
colour, so the crowd stays this size without a per-icon image or a
recolour filter.
