RAK winners!! My assignment #5...

I'm done with the Bad Girls contest. This was my last entry. I was cut along with 30 other girls. It's down to only 10 girls now. I feel really blessed to have made it this far!



Assignment #5:

Lets see what else you can come up with! Your assignment is to create a LO that displays unity and harmony. Please be sure to include a short paragraph on how your LO shows unity.

Here is my write up:


I’ve been wanting to scrap these photos of my son playing basketball, but didn’t think the blurry pictures were scrapworthy. I was heartbroken as all the photos were blurry due to my poor photography skills, but I wanted to capture the memory. To solve this, I printed the not-so-great photos on transparency and backed them with notebook paper, to play along with a “school” sports theme. The transparency kind of lessens the blurriness and I think they now look somewhat better.
To unify this layout, I chose to use color, shape, movement, line and balance.
Color- I created orange circles to create unity with the orange basketballs in the photos. The patterned paper I used to create the circles has lines running through it just as a basketball does. I used black for the title, which ties to the black in my son’s jersey. The white cardstock base was chosen to create unity also with my son’s jersey.
Shape- I chose circular rings again to create unity with the circular basketballs.
Rhythm- multiple circular shapes over and over again.
Movement- I made the circles in graduated sizes going from small on the outer edges to large in the middle where I wanted to draw focus to my photos. To simulate a ball bouncing and also the movement of dribbling, I placed little dots alternately on the circles. Also, please note where I strategically placed an arrow pointing up near the word, “Up”.
Line- I bisected the layout diagonally and created symmetry and balance between the upper half and lower halves of the layout.
