Hi! Today I wanted to share pictures of an album I am preparing for my first grandson: Francisco. Aside from the work I do manually when I design my pages, you'll probably notice I use my computer quite a lot, specially to print texts and images which I then use to decorate my layouts. I don't use design programs (I wouldn't know how to!!). Simply Word and Excel and plenty of fonts I download from the internet
En la página que se ve a continuación, armé todo el fondo con una serie de papeles sobre los cuáles imprimí multiples signos de interrogación. Quise indicar el interrogante que se planteaban al tener que elegir un nombre entre las distintas opciones. El pavo real es una letra de una tipografía llamada DBZoobies.
In the layout below, I put togeteher the background layering an assortment of matching coloured papers on which I printed question marks. I was trying to indicate the question the parents were facing when having to choose between the varied names. The peacock is a letter from a font called DBZoobies
Esta es la imágen de una doble página que armé con toda la evolución del embarazo.
This is a double page layout with the evolution of my daughter's pregnancy
Fijense que en el caso de esta página, cosí dos juntas para formar un sobre dentro del cual coloqué una carta que tenía un significado especial para mi hija. Abajo a la derecha, armé un sobre debajo de la foto para poder colocar un papelito en el cual los chicos habían ido anotando los tiempos entre las contracciones!
In this layout, I sewed together two pages to make an envelope in which I placed a letter which was very sifgnificant to my daughter. In the bottom right hand corner I hid another envelope beneath the photograph in which I placed a slip of paper the kids had used to jot down the time between contractions!
