Five for Friday - Resourceful Repetition by Lorena

1 · June 26, 2015
DesignTeamHeadshots-LorenaCantoHello friends! Lorena here today with your Five for Friday fix! This week my post tackles a design topic, one of the many axiomas I wasn’t aware of before jumping into the paper crafting world. There are many: the rule of thirds, the wonders of white space and, of course, repetition as a design resource. And it’s a powerful one! Repetition can be pleasing to the eye and it’s an easy way to add balance to a composition, still allowing you to play with color, placement and texture.   Let’s see a few examples…
  1. Repetition is not some fancy concept graphic designers invented. It’s been on beautiful nature for thousands of years. Think about the rings on a tree trunk, flower petals, honeycomb

  1. It can give some stunning results when wisely applicated to architecture

  1. One thing that can make repetition visually powerful is introducing an element of rupture. Think about a “one of a kind” inspired card…

  1. Who knew that a bunch of trashed green bottles could be so pleasing to the eye? Once again, repetition in concept and color is the key factor here.

  1. One last example, this time to repetition applied to graphic design. Here, the designer played with color and placement. Isn’t it amazing how a simple bird shape can convey such a great and clear message?

So for my card, I took the repetition rule and ran with it, combining a single image with symmetry, texture and color. I used Gemstone stamp set and the sentiment comes from A Bunch stamp set. gems 1 The texture comes from the glitter I added to the gems. gems 2 As a final touch, I finished the inside of the card gems 3And that’s it for today! Will you give a try to repetition in your card making? Have a fantastic weekend! --- Thank you for sharing with us today, Lorena! We love that you stamped the inside of your card too! Find time to create and make something today!
