March 7, 2023February 27, 2023 by Cassel

Design principles are important for scrapbook pages because they provide a framework for creating a visually appealing and well-designed layout. The six design principles that will be mentioned in this article are emphasis, repetition, alignment, balance, contrast, and flow.

Even though we might not consciously think of those principles, they will play a role in whether we like the overall design, or not. When creating a scrapbook page, we can keep these design principles in mind in order to create a visually appealing layout.

Balance refers to the distribution of elements on the page and can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Rhythm refers to the repetition of elements on the page, which can create a sense of movement.

Proportion refers to the size of the elements on the page in relation to each other. Unity refers to the overall cohesiveness of the page, and how the elements work together to create a unified design. Variety refers to the use of different elements on the page, such as color, texture, and pattern.

By keeping these design principles in mind, you can create scrapbook pages that are not only visually appealing but also well-designed.
