Thursday Threedom
I hope you have been enjoying your week! It’s been gorgeous here in North Alabama, after almost a full week of rain last week, thanks to the tropical depression that blew through here. We’ve entered hurricane season on the Gulf Coast .(O_o). and have already had 3 named storms, which is crazy! NOAA says this will be a “busier than usual” season, so we are taking advantage of all the sunshine we can 🙂
Three is a magical number. Just ask Schoolhouse Rock…
Why is it so magical? It’s because of the way we process information. Pattern recognition is a necessity, and we’ve become pretty good at it. Three is the smallest number required to create a pattern, so it’s easily recognizable! (Makes sense, doesn’t it?). This week, I wanted to show you some of my favorite layouts that use the Power of Three!
sylvia used 1 photo but split it into 3… which makes for an interesting composition:
BasicBear2 used a sequence of photos (I just love the framing too!)
jirsev used a sequence of photos as well, just a little differently:
I love the fact that one of LidiaG’s photos is a circle – the contrast is awesome:
Here’s another use of shape contrast by Elizabeth22:
The photos on this page by Ana Santos remind me of those strips you get in those photo booths in the mall <3
Because of her clustering, Chaos Lounge melded her photo sequencing together quite nicely!
This cute page by zinzilah also has a photo sequence, and I love that she used paper mats under the photos instead of frames:
Rae’s (bcgal00) layout doesn’t have three photos, but it has three stand-out circles that are eye catching!
SO you don’t even have to use PHOTOS to capture a person’s attention!
The next time you scrap, try mixing photos & shapes to create your own magical power of three on your page and see where it ends up! You just might be pleasantly surprised 🙂
