Determine the Spacing of Your
Scrapbook
Spacing is a difficult matter. There
is a fine line between having a balanced scrapbook page and a gaudy
mess. If items are too closely spaced your reader will feel
overwhelmed. If your items are spaced to far apart your viewer will
feel short changed.
Look at your page.
Close your eyes.
Open them again.
Does your page look cluttered?
Does your page have more photographs than background?
Are your embellishments drawing the focus away from your mementos?
Then, you need to simplify your page a bit and increase the spacing
between objects. Remember you can always add more pages.
Is your page bare?
Is your page uninteresting and colorless?
Then, think about adding some more mementos and colorful
embellishments. In this way, you can decrease the spacing between
objects making your page more energetic.
