Design and Composition Theory + Tips for Scrapbookers (a Mega post)







*Disclaimer: I am not a professional art critic, a judge of art shows, a PhD, nor do I hold a Maser of Fine Arts degree. I am an artistically inclined scrapbooker of 5+ years with a few college courses in art and design. Further, I'm an avid reader of just about any art, design and crafts books I could get my hands on. I am by no means trying to tell you how to scrapbook. 
The following list is a compilation of my own experience as a scrapbooker, as well as research into what scrapbook publication editors look for in selecting publishable work. All of this, merged with an ongoing quest for analyzing and breaking down artwork into design elements that either make or break the piece of work for me. Take my suggestions as "food for thought," not as set in stone "rules."
