Designing with Details: How the Little Things Make All the Difference in Your Pages

by Erin Trimble

What makes you "ohhh" and "ahhh" over a baby girl outfit? Is it because it's pink? Probably not. It's most likely the little scallops that adorn the edge of the sleeve or the flowers down the bodice. At a wedding, it's the little details like the favors lovingly placed next to each place setting that make the night so memorable. And in a home, candles burning, flames flickering in the fireplace and a welcome basket in the guest room can make a guest feel special and remembered.

Summer Baltzer from the show Design on a Dime said it best: "The design is in the details." The details and the finishing touches in a room, event or project are what make them feel complete and personalized. Designing with Details will take your pages from ordinary to extraordinary as you learn how to pay special attention to details. By adding those irresistible touches to your work, you can masterfully communicate the message and meaning behind your art. Get out your designer's notebook and make notes that will help you complete and personalize your projects.
