Hello aArtists!

It’s time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes. The AnnaTeam selects a creative page or concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Be inspired, create your own ‘AnnaLift,’ upload your page to the Anna gallery and include it here in this forum thread. Upload your page by Friday 11.13.20 by 8:00 pm EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift. ’ One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5.00 GiftKard to Anna’s shop.

HOW IT WORKS: On Saturday the AnnaTeam posts one creative page from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration page and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Then enjoy artfully playing—there is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay.

Choose ONE idea to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. Be inspired, create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery, plus include it here in this forum thread. It would be great if you could link back to your page in the gallery too!

Anna’s products mix well with so many kits/designers and Anna welcomes you to include these with your Anna Products on your AnnaLift page.

If you’ve never challenged yourself to an AnnaLift—just do it!
If you’ve never posted or shared your AnnaLift—just do it!
If you have time to leave some love for someone in the gallery—do it too! 
(Your kind words may inspire and encourage someone!)

Please post your art in this thread and link to the Anna Aspnes gallery to win the $5 giftcard.

IN THIS CHALLENGE, WE ARE LIFTING THE DESIGN PRINCIPLE OF ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE:



Pages 138-139 Dad’s Military Album Vol. II by agilchrest
https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=437254&title=pages-138-139-dad-27s-military-album-volii&cat=1766


In Pages 138-139 Dad’s Military Album Vol. II by agilchrest, the visual flow of the design is established with an asymmetrical diagonal. The olive green creates a solid background while the touches of golden yellow add impact with the clean lines of the map and the painterly splashes. The subtle color of the vintage photos brings to life the story of a life and career in service. Ann accents her design with a simple arrow. A bold scripted title contrasts with a clean text. Ann creates a stunning design to inspire our artistic storytelling.




Avocette élégante by Dids

In Avocette élégante by Dids, an amazing photo of the graceful bird dominates a graphic design. The beautiful harmony of nature is captured in this photo journalism design. The photo image is placed in box which cannot contain it as the bird gracefully reaches beyond the frame. Asymmetry is established with the contrast of distinctive blocks-a large photo block placed opposite two empty spaces. The soft edge of the photo is echoed in the text. The elegant script title stands in tension against the clean lines. Dids creates a stunning design to inspire our artistry.


Thank you, agilchrest and Dids for sharing your expressive and inspirational artistry.



IDEAS TO INSPIRE: Use ONE or MORE of the following in your AnnaLift layout.
  • Use a single or multiple pages to share your story.
  • Use asymmetrical balance that is bold or subtle.
  • Combine a script with sans serif font.
  • Use rich, natural colors to retain the story or a bold, impacting color scheme.
  • Add stitches and buttons or add stains, paints, and splatters.
