Design challenges 2 & 3
This is a great class to get those creative juices going again. Our instructor, Elizabeth Dillow, offers a challenge prompt every so many days, to create something we may have never tried or thought of before. It’s been really fun, so far. Here are challenges 2 and 3 (number 1 I’ve posted previously.)
using a photo as a background page. This is my silly daughter.
Using orange as the primary color on a page. Never would have thought of it.
Sometimes, stepping outside of our comfort zones is good for us, whether it’s in reference to being artistic and creative, or in other areas of life. Here, it is good for me because part of my love for scrapbooking involves learning and growing. The classes I am taking at Big Picture Classes certainly nurture this. Go ahead and try something different next time you do something crafty. I’ll bet you’ll love it! Happy Scrapping!
Design Challenges
My third class assignment for today comes from Elizabeth Dillow’s “Design Challenges”. It gives us 12 different design challenges to tackle, and today’s was to take a familiar sight or media form and incorporate it into a layout. A play on form, so to speak. Some of the ideas suggested are a periodic table, eye chart, road sign, calendar grid, menu, program, social media status update, etc. I chose an eye chart for my layout (you would be amazed what you can find on Google!) that I personalized and added a photo taken from today:
My husband was being experimental, shall we say, in opening an old (and I mean old) can of tobacco to put into his old pipe to smoke. Just this once (I hope). Made for a great photo op!
This was a fun assignment in order to step outside the box of putting photos into a traditional-looking page. Sometimes it’s fun to do something different! Happy scrapping!
