Tips On Design {Odd Numbers, Multiple Images & Emphasizing Design Elements}

Hey guys, Steph here with some tips on design that may help you when creating your layouts in the future. There are so many elements from design to completion, but I want to elaborate more on three of them, working with odd numbers, multiple images and emphasizing Design Elements.

Here is my layout using the versatile Nantucket range.  I have used three simple design rules that I want to share (actually their not rules just tips), the first one being the use of Odd Numbers.

Odd Number Rule

I’m not exactly sure why it works – but it does.  Perhaps it’s about the balance that odd numbers create, and the fact that there’s always one thing in the center to give balance.

Using Multiple Images

Some of the simplest and perhaps most powerful layouts use one strong visual. However, if using multiple images (Pink Paislee’s patterned papers contain so many beautiful images) try keep them connected both through alignment and proximity — grouping the images so that they form a single visual unit and aligning them in a similar fashion.  You can see above all the big flower images are in close proximity, the flower elements on the top of the photo, the groups of hexagons.

Well I hope these tips are helpful, and in some way can help those looking for insight into the process of creating a good designed page.
