April 2024 Taylor Swift Challenge

Post by The Scrap Attack »

Welcome to April and a new TS challenge that coincides with a new album! Her 11th studio album The Tortured Poet's Department is slated to drop April 19th. From the song titles alone, it seems like it's  going to have some very emotional songs.

Image

All the album art we've seen so far is in warm toned black and white, so this month's challenges will be the following:

1: Make a page using only products in black, white or gray. Try to minimize any and all colors EXCEPT for your photos (if your project has photos.)

OR

2: Use black and white photos on your layout. You can use whatever colors/products you want if the photos themselves are in black and white.

Here is an example using option 1 where all the products I used are in various shades of black, white or gray.

This is option one. My photos have colors but they are also minimal.

Here's mine - I used Option One - Black grey & white layout. I rarely do layouts in b&w, but I really like the way this turned out. It really worked for this band concert layout.

Thanks for the challenge. I have to say I'm not a big fan of b/w photos, but with the bi-monthly prompt challenge, I chose to attempt this. I did find a photo where my friend and I were both wearing black, so I figured this was the one!  Now I'm going to go think about the other option...
