Stand Up: Challenge #5

Week 4 is in the history books and what a gorgeous week it was for all of you. We have loved this week's entries and many of them truly expressed emotion through color and we are sure our fabulous judges are going to be impressed and overwhelmed with the job in front of them. To each of you who are hangin in there, Congratulations! You should all be so proud of yourselves for sticking with the competition and completing 4 unique and meaningful layouts for these challenges.

This week's challenge will take you in another direction all together and we can't wait to see the results, so let's get right to it...

Challenge #5: A picture says 1000 words

Inspirational Focus:

"A true photograph need not to be explained, nor can it be contained in words." - Ansel Adams

Many times a photograph says everything without a single word. It can capture a moment in time perfectly, express an emotion that will bring a tear to your eye, or bring a distant memory back to life as vividly as if it had happened yesterday. Oftentimes, photos express what our words cannot and this week we want you to prove it!

Design Focus:

Clean & Graphic Pages - This week, we challenge you to capture a photograph that simply speaks for itself and then create a clean and graphic page which lets your photograph do all the talking. A small date or caption is acceptable but otherwise your page should have NO major journaling and NO substantial titlework. Additionally, NO stock photography may be used this week - your photo must be one you took personally.

So, what are we looking for this week specifically? Use of negative space, clean lines, very few embellishments. Think minimalistic. We want the focus to be on your amazing photos! Remember less is more.

Challenge #5 Layouts must be posted in the following galleries at Little Dreamer Designs no later than midnight PST on Tuesday, October 23rd.

Week #5 Intermediate Gallery
Week #5 Advanced Gallery

The final challenge of the Stand Up Contest will be posted Wednesday, October 24th. We can't wait to see your best photography start filling the gallery. Good Luck!
