Color palette or theme

[AnaSantos]

If you were asked if you prefer to make a layout with a color palette or a theme, what would you choose? forget the photo for a moment, a layout may not have a photo.

For me it´s simple ... a color palette. What about you?

 

[LSlycord]

Theme!

 

[scribler]

Color palette. Sometimes, a theme just may not fit me. It's much easier to make a color palette work for you than a theme.

 

[Cherylndesigns]

Color palette for sure!

 

[Amandajk]

Uh-oh!!! I like both. Prefer a brighter palette that is certain, but I do love themes... (sorry!)#crazy

I don't really scrap anymore, but when I am designing, I prefer to go by colors....I don't do well when a theme is forced on me!! LOL

I'd say I've never thought about this. I often start with the photo or a wordart, and go with that.

One thing I love tomdo though, is to make a layout with a themed kit and NOT go with the theme. Like using a Christmas kit for a road trip layout, or a baby boy kit to scrap about spring or something like that.

Theme... There are colors I really hate to work with but there are very few topics I have nothing to say about... even if it's little more than 'I don't know much about it but would love to learn'

Color palette for me. ♥

It depends on whether I like the theme or the color palette.

 

[faerywings]

That is actually a lot harder of a question than you would think...

Probably--- theme, I think. I need something to kick-start my mind on *what* I want to scrap. Colors would be secondary.

Theme for me.......

 

[BrightEyes]

I love both... but must admit that theme gets my juices flowing.

I would say theme for the most part, but I admit I would be more likely to work with a particular kit if the colors appealed to me.

Sometimes a theme can be hard to work with but a color palette always works for me.

 

[marijke]

Color palette for me!

 

[*sylvia*]

both - and sometimes I "ignore" the theme like Eva

 

[Kythe]

Mostly it would be colour. I sometimes make a page with the kit and no photo in mind, then search for a photo. Then again I may start with a photo, use the colours from that to find a suitable kit.
I don't often start with a theme as I tend to take it too literally.

 

[Jeannette]

I love both, but I find a color palette often more appealing to work with.

 

[mywisecrafts]

Never really thought about it before, but I'd have to say palette as well.

I refuse to choose. I think it all depends on my state of mind when I sit down to work. My work more is based on the mood of what I'm trying to accomplish. If I feel like I want to tell a particular story from our family memories, it will most likely be a theme. I tend to organize my photos by events. So, theme comes first and then the palette comes from matching up the photos and the feel of the event. If I'm creating a scene, then obviously when I choose my background page, the color palette is then set. But the page choice comes from how I'm feeling at the moment.

So, in this case you don´t need to choose. Follow your hearth!! xx

Theme for me. I get mental blocks when I start a page, if I have a theme in mind its easier to get some ideas rolling around

ETA: I forgot that I already answered this-- and y answer was exactly the same as the first time around
