I was lucky enough to get an awesome photo tonight of my oldest dgs rounding 3rd base, heading for home. Got a lot of other cool shots so far this weekend as well, but I think that one will be my fav.
Got out me wondering: How do you create a feeling of motion on your pages? I tend to tilt photos, use arrows and swirls, sometimes swipes of paint. triangles and circles sometimes come into play as well. What about you?
And for a challenge: take some photos of people or pets on the move this weekend. Then give scrapping them a whirl.

I tend to use a lot of straight lines and am not really a fan of tilted photos on my own projects so I try to create movement through things like twine. Sometimes the patterns on paper can help, so things like chevrons pointing in a particular direction. I've also used titles wrapped around a larger circle which I think worked particularly well on some basketball photos.
Now you've got me thinking about what else I do that helps convey movement.

How do you create a feeling of motion on your pages? Like you, I use arrows a lot. I never gave it too much thought before (I sure will now!) And for a challenge: take some photos of people or pets on the move this weekend. Then give scrapping them a whirl. Aha! Finally something I can do. We went to a massive playground yesterday and I took pics of my kids in action (with the sports setting on my P&S). It was dizzying to try to capture them sometimes. I'll scrap them next month, after I order the prints at the end of this month. |

you can see how I use the photorealistic papers I love so much. I told you awhile ago in post I would show how I use them. In this layout I have used 2 different photo realistic papers to make the photos part of the background. That is a fantastic layout! I love how the photos blend with the papers. Perfect choices to put together! Thank you for showing me. |

An interesting question! I scrapped 5 full albums of my son playing baseball from a little t-baller to college, and I used baseball theme stuff like it was the only product ever made. But even with his action shots I don't think I ever conveyed movement with other than a paper printed with a flaming baseball or a sticker that said 'Rounding the bases.' You get the idea. I have used chevrons and arrows many times but mostly just to point out someone in a photo. Like this England album I'm working on - sometimes I am like a little spec in a photo and I use an arrow to point to me, lol! Here's one where I used a sihouette die cut Here's one where I used chevrons TFS the baseball page. I love how you used a series of photos to show movement! I just got back from a U-4 soccer game, with an under 3 year old brother giving EVERYONE a workout. Lots of action shots. Lots of action pages in my future! |

Not just tilting the photos but different sizes in various compositions. And the placement of embellishments. |
