Weekly Sketch Round-Up Oct. 14-18

Posted on October 20, 2019October 18, 2019 by Creative Memories

Why do we do the Weekly Sketch Round-Up? Not only because we want to inspire you, but also be inspired by you! When we post a sketch and a complementing layout, that’s just us showing our interpretation of the sketch. And it’s when we see everyone post their results and see how they all look different from one another that we get excited to keep creating projects ourselves! So, check out these four sketches and show us what you can do with them — we can’t wait to find out!

Although they sort of look like it, sketches don’t have to be black-and-white. When we show a layout alongside a sketch, it isn’t meant to be an exact map for how your layout should look. It’s meant to be more of a guide. You can make any changes to a sketch that you want — in fact, we encourage it! Take a look at the four sketches in the Weekly Sketch Round-Up and let us know what changes and modifications you would play with to make them your own!
