Create visual impact by pairing a full-bleed photo with a coordinating collage of images.

Start2Finish: Eclipse
For this Start2Finish, I’m creating a layout called Eclipse - and this time, the design does the storytelling. We weren’t in the path of totality, and I didn’t have dramatic sky photos. Instead of wishing for more, I leaned into what I did have and let intentional design carry the experience. This layout is about using symbolism, typography, and journaling to turn limited photos into a powerful story.

Start2Finish: Tilted and Tucked
In this video, I’ll show you how to create a fun collage-style layout to capture a special event with friends. To add a bit of interest, I’m using a tilted photo in the center of each page as the main focal point. I’ll start by building a template, then adjust it to fit my photos. That way, I’ll have the option to save the design as a reusable template for future projects.
