Go with a standard print sized photo.
Kelly Noel tells the story of her youngest son learning to sit with a standard 4″ x 6″ black-and-white photo.
It’s her starting point, and she adds blocks of paper beside it to build a block cluster. Her title spans the width of the block as does a strip of red washi tape.
Her color choices are those of childhood: primary red, yellow, and blue, but with a twist on that scheme since the blue is muted while the red and yellow are bold.
