layout fix

Today's layout was submitted by Kimmie.

This layout has lots of good things going for it. And either of these pages by themselves would be fine, however when taken together as a double layout, I think it's missing some continuity. There isn't much flow between the two pages, and since they are photos of the same event, I think you want them to blend together rather than standing apart as they are now.

I was going to talk a little more about Catherine's layout from last week, but she made such a nice redo herself, I thought we could let it rest.

I've been thinking about layout design lately, and how to go about teaching it. It's a complicated subject since there isn't really a "right" answer, and also I don't know what I'm talking about. I have no design training and work almost entirely off of instinct, which is obviously not helpful to anyone. So I've done a little reading, and I thought perhaps a quick way to try and figure out what I'm doing when I work on a layout would be to try and "fix" someone else's.
