Let’s talk layouts - Issue #2 - March 2014 - (Page 3)

Editor's note A new step for Histoires de Pages ! Ah...! If only Théophraste Renaudot had known the Internet! He who, in 1631, created the first French newspaper - La Gazette - largely focused on foreign news, which quickly became THE reference newspaper in the whole world! La Gazette disappeared in 1915, victim of the social changes entailed by World War I while other forms of press appeared... Winter life by Nina Ostermann «  Our adorable little Jonna appreciates the arrival of winter  and  loves  to  play  outside  in  the  garden.  This  picture  is  one  of  my  favorites:  I  was  doing  a  series  of  photos  while  she  was  playing  and  when  she  realized  she  was  being  photographed, she began to smile this way  ». To bring out the wooden imitation background , Nina matted it with white cardstock, then with a pink background. To reinforce this "framing" look she so much appreciates, she sewed the three layers and turned up the edges. All embellishments and journaling are grouped on the left side and at the bottom of the layout. The picture and title are prominently on the visual Z way to focalize the eye without it being distracted by all the little details. Materials : papers (Crate Paper, American Crafts), alphabets (American Crafts), stickers (Crate Paper), journaling strips (Pink Paislee), wooden embellishments (Studio Calico, Freckled Fawn), button, brad, pin and fancy pearl (Pebbles), bow and frame (Crate Paper), white acrylic paint, die (Silhouette Cameo), doily, sewing machine Nothing at all in common with the fantastic changes arisen since the appearance of the Internet, the Web, soon followed by social networks! It makes one dizzy to realize that people are like so many butterflies gathering nectar in all media, and going more and more instinctively to look for their information on the Net, because it is easily at hand! However, it is thanks to this fantastic transformation that Histoires de Pages Let's Talk layouts, today, can be read in Australia as well as in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Japan, all over Europe and everywhere in the world! Thank you for your welcome worldwide! It encourages us to persevere in bringing you an even more beautiful, richer magazine, quite a change of scenery, full of whim, poetry and enthusiasm. We have included enlarged layouts so that you can see the slightest detail in this new version of 180 pages, and videos, which are being shot right now, will be available with the next issue! Enjoy !!! Marie-Jeanne Grau Contributing Editor
