This one is from Tim:
A well done and informative presentation. Do you think the concept of visual triangles can transfer to other forms of media e.g. PowerPoint presentations or webpage design?
Thanks for commenting, Tim! The answer is YES! The design principles we discuss in terms of scrapbooking are also principles of design in general.
Take a look at these websites and tell me if you can find the triangles in the mastheads.

This one may seem a little tricky. Let the lines of the book guide your eye from one corner to the next to see this triangle.

On this one I see two separate triangles at work in the masthead.
In my podcast, I showed examples of how elements on the page were used as points on a triangle. Triangles in design can also be actual lines, like in the photos on this website. Do you see the lines of the triangle in each photo?
www.tsenos.gr The two main features of the photo that makes up this masthead form a triangle.
I want to give special attention to a web designer I found from the Philippines. I love her design. She has an amazing way of using triangles.
Here are some of the other sites Gail has created:
marroxas.com Follow the line from the water, up the arm, to the “Welcome,” and back down to the signature. That is beautiful design right there.
www.splitimagestudio.com This one is gorgeous. See the triangle from the “Welcome,” down to the text below, and over to the wedding couple? Look at the second triangle that the wedding couple makes with their bodies!
hoopwatch.com Again, a combination of lines and points, drawing the eye down the page.
Do you see the triangle in my masthead? What about the triangle on my husband’s site, www.izzyvideo.com?
