Slideshow: 2020 9x12 Album

So, I thought this album was done, then it occurred to me that there are a few other things I could include, so this is a slide show of what I have thus far. It’s nearly complete, anyway.

In a normal year, this album would have documented all the big events - holidays, gatherings, parties, traditions, weekend getaways. But 2020 was not a normal year, as we all know. Instead, this album became an experiment of sorts. A chance to play with full page layouts, which I haven’t done in a while, and use some products that I’ve been sitting on forever. I did a summary layout for each month - that’s more or less the first half of the album. The second half is kind of a mixed bag. Lots of documenting that I probably wouldn’t have thought to do if this year hadn’t gone off the rails.

The January and February summary layouts at the beginning of the album were done in real time. The rest of the album I put together from late November until maybe February of 2021. I did no documenting for the bulk of 2020 because I wasn’t feeling it. Adversity does not bring out my creativity or motivation.
