Use a title to set tone or mood
Ashley Calder says, ” This page is about my daughter Ruby Sky, and her crazy, wonderful, big, huge, adorable, self-centered, but very sweet and far too charming personality. One day she coined the phrase, and that’s why I’m Ruby Sky! It stuck because it is so incredibly true. I tried to capture a little of that truth in this page, between the photo, the journaling, and the overall style.”
Ashley’s titlework reflects the crazy, big, adorable, and charming personality she wants to reveal here because of the color, the funky handcut and handwritten alphas, and the spread-out, unexpected placement on the page. We’re not used to seeing the title take up more room than photo and journaling.
