When working on pages that are going to be side-by-side in a photobook, I work in double-page format, so I create a new document that is 24”W x 12”H
I bring in the appropriate page templates (as listed above) and then turn off the layers that I don’t want in my design
I typically follow the steps below, working on both pages at a time, to ensure the final look is balanced and cohesive
I added my photos in, and clipped them to each of the fotoblendz masks and frame masks
Once the photos were positioned, I adjusted the colours of the stains (Edit, Fill, Color then chose an appropriate colour from my layout)
I then added my wordart and elements
Finally, I added splatters and recoloured as needed
