Scrapbooking, while being a creative and fun hobby, is based on basic design principles. These “rules” of design are also used in art, interior decorating, floral arranging, and graphic design. Principles such as using odd numbers, the visual triangle, and creating a focal point can be found in print advertising, movies, and architecture. You have most likely been using these rules instinctively as you have developed your scrapbook style. As with any skill, you can take it to the next level with study and practice. Being aware of the visual triangle can help you pull together a professional looking scrapbook page like you see in your favorite magazines and web sites.
