Would you add a "sideways" layout into your album?

Well... the centerfold of a certain magazine kind of made the vertical layout a huge thing, so if it worked for them, why not in a scrapbook!

 

Nope, not weird at all! It will totally show off that tree and photo... all they have to do is turn it sideways! Perfect! I think it would really convey the height of the tree!

 

when she said gutter ... i don't think she meant your mind was sup'd to go there!

i'd give it a try too. when you upload it (before you print/order the book)- you should be able to see in the preview how it will look. it sounds like a fun concept for a scrapbook!

i would maybe have a backup page, just in case i wasn't crazy with the way it looked. why not also try having each panorama on the ends of a double page spread - with some journaling/white space or big typography/title filling the white area? if the two panoramas are at the right and left edges and the rest of the page is minimal - they will really stand out that way as well?

 

Nope! I would do it! Go for it!

 

I would definitely go for it! I'm all about showcasing the photo in the best possible way and that is such a cool photo that you need to be able to showcase the "height" of it!

 

I have done one sideways layout. It was the best way to showcase the photo and the story.

 

Absolutely. Definitely. Without a doubt. I would do it!

 

@QuiltyMom that's impressive if you understood what I said above!

 

does anyone else have that song Centerfold by J Giles Band in their head now?

 

Absolutely!! I think it would really convey the beauty and scale of it all!!

Huggles!!

I'd definitely turn it!!!! I see no problem with it!

 

I do now!

 

This thread is actually comical!

 

I have a few children's books (no gutter here!*) Where there is a page we have to turn the book sideways to read. It doesn't bother us at all. And I remember a children's book like that from my childhood.

*this time. No guarantee on next time. my angel is a centerfold....

 

I have regular photo albums where I have some portrait photos in "landscape" slots, so I have to turn the (heavy) album to look at those pics. You're just doing the same thing but with a scrapbook, so I don't think anyone will think it's odd. And TBH (and I don't mean this in a naughty manner, UNLIKE @Karen rofl), I thought about how a "turned" double-page layout really will be your centerfold: you'll know when someone looking at your album gets to that spread!

 

Do it!
