Ready to scrap a sequence of events, a fun trip, or any memory that needs lots of photos and lots of movement? This dynamic Sketch 7 by Allison Davis for the Hip Kit Club uses bold arrows and a vertical filmstrip to create a layout that feels like a non-stop adventure!
This design is modern, graphic, and perfect for action-packed memories. Here is your breakdown of this high-energy sketch:
The Background: The Power of the Chevron
The entire layout is dominated by strong, stacked chevron arrows that cascade down the center.
Movement: The arrows immediately draw the eye down the page, emphasizing movement and direction—perfect for travel or road trip layouts.
Layering: The chevrons are built with vertical strips of paper layered on top, creating a dramatic, textured column that acts as the backbone of the design.
Subtle Detail: Note the subtle dotted grid background, which adds a light texture without competing with the bold chevrons.
Photo Central: Filmstrip & Focus
This layout is a photo-lover’s dream, accommodating at least six photos in two distinct styles!
The Filmstrip: A vertical strip holds four small photos, labeled 1 through 4, mimicking a vintage film reel. This is ideal for showing a progression of events.
The Main Focus: A vertical $2.5 \times 3.5$ inch photo is angled over the filmstrip, layered with paper tabs to make it the central image.
Bonus Photos: Two small, fun photos (one in a square/rounded frame and one in a cute retro TV shape!) are tucked around the title, adding playful detail and boosting the photo count.
Title & Accents: Storytelling in Motion
The title and journaling are grouped at the bottom, stabilizing the busy, arrow-filled center.
The Title: A large, block-lettered “LONG TITLE” is layered over the script subtitle “long title.” The title sits on a grounded horizontal paper strip.
Journaling: A ticket-shaped element with journaling lines is tucked in near the main photo. This reinforces the travel/event theme.
The Details: Small arrow and chevron elements are layered around the title cluster, continuing the directional theme right down to the bottom of the page.
Why you need to try this sketch: If you struggle to use a lot of photos on one page, the filmstrip element is your solution! It allows you to display a detailed story sequence without cluttering the main area.
