Redesign Challenge—Going from Single to Double

Using what you’ve learned from this class, explore the possibilities for creating a double page design from a single one.

Here’s the Concept

I started with a single page template. This particular one is from the Rectangular Grid design lesson of this class series.

1. I dragged all the layers from the single page onto a double page template and rearranged them.
2. Where can you get a starting double page template? Use a double page template from this lesson, but remove all layers except the Background layer.
3. I tried to stick with the original template style. I started with a grid design and stayed with a grid design.
4. I paid special attention to the design principle rules for double page spreads.

Ready for the challenge?

I’m going to show you a template from your class stash. Grab a pencil and paper and roughly sketch out how you could create a double page template from the parts of the single one.
