Make a two-page photo journal on iPad
Give each page a small job. A café moment on the left, the walk home on the right, and enough paper around both to let the memory breathe.
The short version
- Begin with two portrait sheets
- Give each side one subject
- Repeat a color, not the whole layout
- Add words you will want to return to
Begin with two portrait sheets
Open a journal on iPad and choose Add page. Tap the book icon (Facing pages) in the top toolbar. Both sheets belong to the same journal and now appear next to each other. Each keeps its portrait proportions; rotating the iPad changes your view of the paper.
Give each side one subject
Place your main photograph on the left. Use the right page for a second moment or a few words. Keep the center seam clear so the two images have room. Here the café photo and the street photo tell consecutive parts of one afternoon.
Repeat a color, not the whole layout
Use a little green or kraft-colored tape to connect the pages. Let their photograph sizes and text positions differ. Switch between Arrange and Draw deliberately: Arrange moves your materials; Draw adds marks to the paper.
Add words you will want to return to
Use separate text blocks for a title and a short memory. Check the spread at its normal viewing size. If you have to zoom in to read a sentence, increase its text size or shorten it. Leave space for something you may add later.
