Visual Triangles

Hello everyone!  We are coming to the end of the first week of MOC (Month of Challenges) and hope everyone is having a good time and feeling inspired by all of the challenges.  I have a quick design tip for you today.  Sometimes I struggle with the placement of elements (even with templates).  My pages tend to be on the filled side with lots of clusters and one design rule I have found helpful is Visual Triangles.  This rule is just what it sounds like – arranging elements to create a visual triangle that leads the eye around the page.  Here is an example of Visual Triangles in action:

 

Things are Looking Up

 

There are actually several triangles on my page, including flowers, word art, snowflakes and arrows.  Here is a closer look at those visual triangles:

Arrows Flowers

Snowflakes Word Art

Brads

 

If you are ever struggling with the placement of elements or overall design of your page, visual triangles are a great place to start!  I hope you find this tip helpful. 🙂

 

Until next time ~

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
