The Dominance Principle and Photo Groupings – Paperclipping 155

I’ve received some requests to share more ideas on building the foundation of your scrapbooking pages. This episode focuses on layouts with seven to ten pictures. But I didn’t share specific placement options. Instead, I share how you can use the design principle of dominance (also hierarchy), as well as all the elements of design that contribute to dominance, to help you come up with foundations and placement that works best for your own stories.

This episode is only available for Paperclipping Members. If you are not a member, I hope you enjoy looking at the layouts below. You can click on the video above to watch the trailer. If you would like to learn the design principles that can help you with your placement, as well as all of the other principles, techniques, and other scrapbooking ideas I share in my tutorials, please check out the Membership Information Page.

Modeling The Costumes

Halloween Layout 6
Journaling reads: Gypsy * Demon Brute * Froggy

The modeling part is especially fun when you kids are so . . . well . . . “DRAMATIC” is an understatement. Love it!

Watching The Monkeys

Watching The Monkeys
Journaling reads: Our favorite part was watching the monkeys. At the zoo on our fun family vacation to Surprise. Sept. ’06.

Together Again

Together-Again
Journaling reads: It’s been years since we were all together in one place. Longer than that is the time it has been since we took a family picture . . . ten years! Getting all of the siblings together in one time and place is difficult. Mom and Dad live in Kansas City. Erin and I are in Arizona. Chad found his happpy place in San Diego. Blake is settling in Utah. And Lindsay is hanging out in Michigan while Trent is in Law School.

Unsure when our next chance will be to get together as a complete family again, we had the best time in Arizona for Thanksgiving. It is definitely something to be very grateful for. <3

    I watched the episode but never had the chance to post a comment.

    Another great one :) Love the clear explanations and the idea of using tons of pics in the pages.

    Thanks!

    Thank you! These are some of my favorite multi-photo layouts, and I realized
    I haven’t done this type of layout in a while! I started working on one this
    afternoon!
