Experiments in Scrapbooking Techniques 1: White Space

Greetings, my name is Shoe and this is my Experimental scrap booking blog. Today, I wanted to explore the technique of white space and how it effects the viewer. I chose a simple orange button to bring the user's focus not on the white space, but the rest of the layout. Without the rest of the layout, white space is not only white space, but a piece of paper. The choice between a button of orange color, and a spagetti sauce stain was a difficult one, but I was hungry and ate all the sauce before I could use it. I feel that the orange button expresses my hunger not only for tasty noodles, but for the universe.

    You really worked the negative space and gave your LO much meaning to it. LOL Love it! Thanks for the laughs! I REALLY think you should consider trying out for the DT. I'm sure that will make it 10x more interesting....for realz!
