This piece is a digital scrapbook page. You can tell its digital because the way the embellishments are on a page and the fact that they do not look real. On the page there is jounaling that explains that the pictures were taken for the girl's Myspace. There are five pictures total on the page all of the same girl. The largest picture is mounted on a pink pattern sheet of paper and the other four smaller pictures are framed in by a film strip. At the top of the page is a title that says so photogenic. Overall, the page is embellished fairly simple. It is decorated but not overwhelming.
I found this piece searching Google Images for scrapbook pages around a day before writing this. I'm not sure who created this particular scrapbook page, but I found it a bit ironic that it was also on blog website. I choice this piece because it was carefully put together and designed well. I also like the fact that it had a good balance between the page not being cluttered with embellishments and the page lacking decoration. The last reason I choice it was because it was a digital piece and would be a good example to create my own digital scrapbook page off of.
The conventions generally associated with a Scrapbook page are there is at least one photo on the page, the page is decorated in some fashion either with pattern paper embellishments or both, and their 90% of the time is some sort of writing or journaling on the page. Scrapbook pages are very visual and often portray some one's memories or experiences. Just something to keep in mind about scapbooking pages is the pages vary a lot not only depending on who makes the particular by also by what was used to make the page, whether they are digital or done using actual paper, or what is actually being scrapbooked.
The target audience for this particular piece is probably to any family members that wanted to see a picture of this girl or any scrapbooker that wants inspiration for a page or is looking for a layout to copy or alter for their own purposes. Because this photo was taken off a blog the audience opens up to who ever is reading the blog if it is not for one of the other to guess on the target audience for this piece.
