Evoke the Emotion

Today I'm going to talk about a couple of ways to evoke emotion in our layouts.  This first layout is about a father who broke up a family when he started seeing a "lady friend."  I thought the somewhat "fractured" background paper embodied the sadness of broken hearts and dreams.
This next layout discusses a frightening situation we found ourselves in.  How do you see the emotion being conveyed here?
For me the stark black and white and the font used for the title both help convey the fear we felt as we drove over roads that were little more than tracks with steep drop-offs on the sides as we tried to find our way to our destination.

Great idea Cheryl, amazing how a piece of paper or a font can as you say evoke emotion. A very good idea TFS!
