Define graphic layout A graphic style layout is 2D with no drop shadows. It would be the type of layouts that you see in magazine ads or posters. Pictures are often blended together or with elements to make a cohesive and interesting effect.
How do you do them???? Great questions!!! Here are some tutorials to get you started!! And there are more to come in the future!

Are graphic LOs mandatory or just a suggestion? At least some portion of your layout must be graphic style. If you would like to mix graphic and paper style that is completely fine!!!
Couldn't you keep the 'define me' part as a type of prompt? Great idea!! After the first few months of getting started, I will post some word prompts to inspire you with your layout!!!
Can we do hybrid? Of course!!! :D
What is hybrid? Hybrid is mixing graphic (2D style) with paper (3D style) to make a combination layout!
Is graphic just flat? Fully graphic style is 2D. When you start mixing in 3D elements you are actually making what is called a hybrid layout! Those are completely ok for this challenge!!!
No shadows? Not on a fully graphic style layout.
Blending? Blending is a technique that takes practice! Here is a tutorial for PSP on blending: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/psp_blendinglayers_ew.shtml
I will request a PS tutorial for blending!! :)
What is the fuzz brush? it is a brush tip that usually comes with PS or PSP. It is just a cotton ball type paint brush tip that blends nicely
How do blend the photos and paper? Here is a PSP tutorial: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/psp_blendinglayers_ew.shtml
Where do we post? Here is the gallery to post your layout: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=5293
Please add your own answers and questions below!! I will update this thread regularly!!!! :love2:
