Sometimes titles just happen automatically. You see an image and you know straight away what the title will be. At other times, you might end up completing the layout and simply getting stuck on ideas for the title.
Not only should the title ... well title the idea of the layout .... but it can also form an important part of finishing off your layout with just the right embellishments.
Ideas of What You Can use for Your Titles
I often use my titles as my 'wow-factor' of my page. When done right the title can add to a page and form part of the embellishments for the layout. Think about whether you need a strong powerful type of title from a heavy material such as foam or chipboard, or whether a soft delicate title would suit your layout style better.
Things you can use to create your title:
- Pre-Made Titles in the Format of Stickers, Die Cuts, Labels etc.
- Chipboard Letters
- Foam Letters
- Fabric Letters
- Stickers
- Rub-Ons
- Hand-Written Titles
- Printed WordArt
- Printed Fonts
- Stamping
- Create your own Die Cut Titles using your Electric Die Cutter
Quick Title Ideas
- Use your subject’s name (example "Samantha")
- Use the location (example "New York City")
- Use the date (example "4th of July")
- Use a quote (example "She believed she could, so she did")
- Keep it short silly (example "B-Day Madness")
- Quote something that was said (a toddler's first word, an important part of a wedding vow, a birthday wish etc.)
- Use a part of a poem
- Use a line from a song
- Use a special phrase or sentiment from a card
- Use a hashtag (for a bit of fun)
- Use a cliché, or idiom
- A common phrase
- An important number (such as a birthday or anniversary celebration)
- An object from the photo (example "cupcake")
How to Display your Title Creatively
Here are some ways that you can display your title in a creative manner:
- Use an extremely large font that spans the width of the page
- Use varied fonts
- Use both upper and lower cases
- Use text along the edge of a photo as a frame
- Change the title of the letters
- Use different colors and/or patterns for each letter
- Split the word up creatively
- Use a hashtag symbol
- Have the title run down a page rather than across it
