Winning Sports Layouts

Design by Shannon Zickel

Layered strips of patterned paper in a similar color scheme anchor the pictures on the white grid background. If your images are all similar, such as Shannon's were, add interest by overlapping and tilting the images and including basketball embellishments.

Editor's Tip: Getting good shots in a gym can be tough. Turn off the flash and, if you're shooting with an SLR camera, use a faster shutter speed to reduce blur.
