Layout 1-2-3: Color & Style

April 3, 2013 | 1 Comment

Today I’m highlighting a layout I spotted recently that I loved on sight. It’s one by our very own Kimberlee, from the OSD Creative Team, and…well, I think it speaks for itself. Or it should speak for itself, but I’m about to talk all about it anyway! Layout 1-2-3 is all about looking at a layout and working out why it is that you like it. For today’s Layout 1-2-3, I can tell you:

The ONE thing that completely stands out to me about this page is how strongly the black & white elements - especially the picture - stand out even in amongst all that bold, delicious color (the blue & yellow from Tina’s kit is killer too).

The TWO things I’m inspired to try from this page are: a right-aligned list-style journal block (which looks AMAZING!) and putting a bold piece of word art right in the middle like that. Gorgeous.

And the THREE things that I just generally love about this page? First, the perfectly-eclectic, just-grungy-enough style. It is so bold, and yet comes together effortlessly. Second, the fact that it uses the WHOLE page basically, yet still has lots of visual ‘space’. And third, that those antlers look so totally awesome, and for some reason completely normal too, on this page!
