Simple visual storytelling in a no-frills layout design pairs three similar photos together for a very elegant, natural ending to the wedding day. Again portrayed visually by varying the widths of the image and changing the angles in the frame. Notice that the cropped frames on the page keep the bright spot out, except in the final resting image where both the bride and groom are at rest.

This freehand layout is very simple to execute while working in inDesign – simply choose your series of photos from your library of candidates and drag them onto the stage. Slide the frames to fit your page. Command+2 to fit your image to frame proportionally if you are using our recommended keyboard shortcuts. Allow your mouse to follow your eye in shortening frames to ‘increase’ the visual ‘velocity’ and highlight one at the largest width, and set your pace-left to right-and don’t feel like it has to be a consistent pace.

In this horizontal spread, I cropped the images in a tight panoramic 1:5 format to show the tight moments of the bride and groom placing the rings on each other’s fingers. The tight spacing and blurred edges allow for a quick ‘read’ of the eye across the page and back – that emphasis is heightened by the horizontal bars of color running through the background of the image. Those lines were drawn from the implied continuation of line I ‘felt’ between the photos after laying them out.

Transparency and background texture overlays create a sense of depth on the page, originally uploaded by Neil Cowley.

Transparency and background texture overlays create a sense of depth on the page. The main key-line box forms the frame for the main ground of the page design. A mildly transparent image of the brides dress lying on a couch forms an arc across the page background, the arc blends with the design of the opaque images, and the transparent image in the center of the page breaks the bounding box and opens up the page with a sense of depth and adventure, combined with the receding gesture of the bride. The contemplative opaque images, contrast with the active and mysterious image for a good balance of content and design.
