Think you can’t get a lot of photos on a single page layout? Well, think again. I often use multiple photos on my layouts. Even so, six did turn out to be a stretch for me. This was the task I accepted by SCT magazine in my continuing quest to work on NSD layout challenges. I started with one focal 4×6, one sub-focal 4×4 and 4 3×3’s. I then further cropped down two of the 3×3 to fit the space well on the layout. To make the photos all fit and not overwhelm I used a few tips…
- Keep pattern papers mellow and minimal.
- Use a generous amount of black inking on the photo edges to read as a mat without the space needed for an actual mat.
- Journal directly on the photos or onto labels to add directly to the photos.
- Fill in the gaps left in a grid layout with your embellishments.
