wWhat is the scope of your next layout? Determining whether you will take a sweeping view
of a single topic or event will produce different results than taking a very specific view from
the same topic or event. Either choice helps determine the direction your story will take.

Sweeping or specific? Determining the scope of your
layout can help you tell the story. BY C AT H Y Z I E L S K E
DESIGN TIP: Work in rainbow order.
I cut scraps of patterned paper starting
with black then following the rainbow
order for orange, green, and purple.
These classic Halloween colours work as
a triadic scheme on the colour wheel.
A SWEEPING STORY
The topic for my first
layout is Halloween.
I wanted to document how
my family has celebrated
over the years. By taking
an expanded view of an
arguably large amount of
time, I can include many
photos spanning multiple
years and add a short
synopsis of my main theme
for my journaling.
STORY TIP: Let the photos
tell the story. With 12
shots all focused on the
same theme, there is
no need for expansive
journaling. Keep it short
and sweet!
