Let’s talk layouts - Issue #2 - March 2014 - (Page 134)

Different color combinations In our previous issue, we gave you advice on how to work with colors that go well together on your layouts, playing with proportions, the number of colors or even the amount of saturation. Here are three more secrets for you to try out. by Catherine Labeeu, Gaëlle Fauglas and Séverine Sorbier Opposite ► Materials : papers (Bazzill, Crate Paper, Echo Park, Glitz Design), alphabet (Basic Grey), chipboards (Crate Paper, Studio Calico), stickers (Crate Paper, Echo Park, Sassafras), Izink ink (Aladine) For the good of your body When we see the explosion of colors on these two pages - mainly orange and pink from Catherine and Gaelle, we are blown away by the dynamism in their creations, a pure concentration of energy, which acts like a glass of vitamins taken first thing in the morning. Catherine's orange colors translate the determined energy of the little boy whereas Gaelle's pinks splatter the scene with a drop of sheer joy. Red, orange, yellow and pink, are picked out like an echo time and again in the way in which they have been used. It's lively, funny, revitalising and happy! Orange and the family of colors associated with it are definitely beneficial to the human being, but not only by the pleasure which these colors give to the brain and to the heart via the retina. In fact, the orange or red hue, even yellowy, present in certain fruit and vegetables is synonymous with the presence of one of the human body's best friends. In the red of the tomato and the watermelon, the orange of the carrot, and the yellow or pink of the grapefruit hides lycopene, a carotenoid which is an essential ingredient to fight off old age in a natural way. Please delight in eating them as freshly picked as possible, without moderation. 134 HISTOIRES DE PAGES - LET'S TALK LAYOUTS MARCH 2014 ISSUE 2
