March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #232: Basic Rules for Good Design
Tip of the Week
Basic cardmaking design tips include:
* Use co-ordinated colors and try not to use any more than 3 colors on a card.
* Layer or mat to give your card that professional look.
* Make sure that you are careful when cutting layers - straight edges and exact corners are a "must" for a good looking card.
* Seek out visual "triangles." Images in odd number groups (2,5,7...) are most pleasing. This basic design principle is universal.
* Don`t "overdo" a card. Stop layering and coloring before it looks like "too much." Remember, sometimes less is more.
