Lately, I've been trying to be more conscious about my page design, but I had this scribble of the dog down on the page without any forethought (which is my usual M.O.).
Then I decided to see if I could make the page look a bit more intentional.
I played with columns, creating a vertical line in a place where the dog would break the plane. I thought perhaps this would push her image forward from the words.
I put a little headline of her name, making up the font with serifs.
I added the main journaling piece. But then it felt unbalanced with a big blank area in the upper right. So I added the cartoon call-out.
I certainly learned a lot messing with this combination of sketch, texts, columns, and call-outs.
Plus, it was nice to mark the eighteen-month anniversary of our rescuing "The Jones," the enormous healing progress she has made, and the quirky goodness she has brought into our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving!
