A good arrangement of your album page can take place both symmetrically, and asymmetrically; it is important to arrange stamps and text in a clearly way.

You should avoid newspaper cuttings and other not-philatelic accessories (left), because stamps and philatelic documents - FDC's, special cancellations etc. - should be in the foreground (on the right).

In no case the album page should be overloaded, nor with stamps (left), neither with text (on the right). Stamps and text must complete themselves mutually.

Two further examples of the symmetrical (left) and asymmetrical (on the right) arrangement of the stamps, the philatelic documents and the text.

Never the arrangement of stamps or text should be circular or diagonal!
