Loving Life

This is really beautiful! I love how the direction of his hands in the photo is pointing out of the circular frame, so that our eye is led really naturally in that direction as well. There's a great sense of movement across the page from the left to the right. I'm also really impressed by your shadow-work here. You've varied it very effectively, so that the doodles and brush strokes in the bottom right have no shadow at all and are flat against the page (very realistically), while the doodled leaf and flower elements that are more 'substantial' have bolder shadowing. The overall effect is very realistically three-dimensional, just like it would be if these things were pasted on the page. That's very hard to do! Fantastic work.

Beautiful page. Great job combining all the designers pieces. Love the large circle cut out and the strips leading up to the photo. Absolutely fantastic clustering in the corner. GREAT page!!

I like the template rotated. Super combo of papers. the title work looks great.
