Avoiding Angle-itis
This scrapbook page is suffering from Angle-itis.
Angle-itis (n.) is a rare and utterly fake ailment that occurs when someone tries to create an angled scrapbook page design, but forgets to angle several key components.
Please help clear things up by finding three key components of the page that someone (that someone being me) forgot to angle.
When you think you have all three, click the button below:

Angling Mistake #1
The green paper strip in the background is straight, not angled.
For guaranteed success in an angled design, make all the linear elements angled to approximately the same degree. If they aren’t, the result will be confusing to the eye.

I fixed the green paper strip. I’m tipsier already!
Angling Mistake #2
The drink is not angled.
No need to fear. It only needs to be angled -7° in order to fit in with its cluster-mates. That’s not enough for a spill.

Angling Mistake #3
The text box is not angled.
Oh dear. A straight text box is a big no-no when creating an angled design.

I’m now feeling very confident that the page is ready for the big time. Thanks so much for your help!
Wrap Up
- For guaranteed success in an angled design, angle every element in a grouping by 7° or more.
- Angling a text box is a great way to support an angled design.
- Avoid “angle-itis” by rotating an entire grouping at one time. That way you won’t accidentally forget a couple key elements.
