Repeating shapes within a layout gives the design a cohesive look and feel, helps the layout feel organized, and often makes the page more interesting to view. In this issue's sketch, you'll notice several repeated shapes: squares and rectangles that create playful photo groupings and circles positioned to lead the viewer's eye through the layout. Give this design a try on your next layout!

Design Tip Consider how you can add variety to the design of your layout while still maintaining visual unity. Amy Mallory did this with the circle accents on her layout by repeating the same shape, size, and details for unity, then changing the colors for variety.
