There was a scene in Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut where this scientist's attention was taken away from working on the Atomic bomb because he became fascinated with turtles. His bosses couldn't get him back on task and finally resorted to asking the scientists daughter for help. The daughter basically ran the house and took care of him since her mother and his wife died. The daughter simply said...'just take the turtles away from him.' Sometime I feel like that. I get sort of obsessed working on something that virtually everything else gets neglected (my yard and house are exhibits A and B unfortunately). Right now I'm really trying to decide how I want to design a wedding album. I'm never happy with pre-made templates so I end up doing extra work to design everything from the backgrounds to the borders ... everything. So today I decided I wanted to design a 12x12 album with completely custom designed pages and have begun to zero in on the designs above. I want elegant yet something that focusses on and showcases the photographs and the stories within them. I've decided today...though this may change...to keep a consistent background throughout the book... I'm at least going to put a few pages together to see if this looks right and isn't too boring. I want the photographs to be the key more than the 'design' if that makes sense. Like going to your own art show opening and hearing people talk more about the frames or the food than the actual artwork, I don't want the presentation over power the images and the wonderful story telling moments of Dee and Greg's day.
