Arrange cheese on platter so it is evenly spaced and in varying heights and positions. Cut or crumble some of each cheese and let it spill on the platter.
Add grapes and strawberries. Then, arrange sauces in small bowls on the board. Rearrange fresh fruit as necessary creating height when it makes sense.
Add bread slices and crackers, then fill in spaces with dried fruit and nuts.
Look at the overall cheese board and fill in any remaining spaces or gaps with more crackers, fruit, cheese, and nuts.
