SHCG - This is a fantastic title! Nice color scheme, the orangey-beige (? that's what it looks like here) letters & copper offset the blue/greys in the pp & pics well. The beige photo corners look elegant, very befitting for Lady Liberty. I like Jesse's idea of perhaps overlapping some of the photos somehow.
SHCG: I think it's awesome that you've went back and done a LO from so many years ago. Great pictures; I love that you've kept it pretty simple. These don't need much embellishment and the copper postcard and photo corners are perfect. A suggestion if you wanted to play around is that you could overlap the pictures and make more of a collage-y feel.
SHCG: Very cool title idea, and I like that it's descending like steps. I like how the copper photo corners tie in with the postcard. I was going to suggest a blue or patina colored shadow to your alphas, but then I read that it shows up better irl. I feel like the bottom two photos in the second column have weighty images, and might balance the spread out more if you switched places with the bottom two photos in the first column. Great description for your journaling!
shcg - (so sorry I missed this and the Broadway one earlier!) - I love the use of copper and blue for this - they are the perfect match for the Statue and the photos. My sole criticism is that the you title/date could use a shadow/backing to make them pop from the background paper.
While in NYC in 1988, Barb and I went to the statue of Liberty. We made it all the way to the crown, and our legs paid for it. I swear there are more than 357 steps to the crown but I researched it. I did journal about what happened afterwards: we got back to where her mom had parked and was waiting for us and asked for a bathroom that didn't require steps up...her mom thought a minute and then said to go back there (she pointed) and said "just go up those steps..." We screamed "NO STEPS!). I think we ended up going in there anyway. The copper postcard I purchased while there and decided to use it in the LO. Unfortunately, Ellis Island was closed while we were there.
The title shows up much better in person than in this photo.
