Have you thought about making a photo book before? Maybe you are used to keeping your photos in an album, so why would you want to make a photo book? A Photo Album is just an ordinary book where you can arrange a series of photographs in a specific order of your choice. You can really bring a touch of creativity your photographs with a professionally printed photo book.
Here's seven reasons I think photo books are better than photo albums
- Individual and Personalised Design - You get to personally design your own photo book! You have complete control over the sizes of your pictures, their arrangement on the page and the general style and colours of the book. You can have a photo take up a whole page on the book, or fit a hundred images on one page.
- Professional Printing - It is personally designed and the individual photos are printed on the page unlike a photo album where the photos are stuck to the pages. This means no finger smudges on your favourite photos, and no need to buy expensive acid proof papers or worry about your photos fading.
- Lightweight and Slim - Photo albums can be bulky and heavy, but photo books are slim and lightweight because the pictures are printed on the page. Professional book printing and binding will ensure your memories are preserved for a lifetime.
- Combine Your Images - Merge or overlay photos, cut or paste, straight or angles, colour, black and white or sepia; you can decide on how you want your memories to be preserved. You can even write text beside or over photos indicating the event or something special that you would like to remember.
- Cheaper than Alternatives - High quality photo albums, scrapbooking and creative memories supplies are really expensive. When compared with these expenses, photo books are inexpensive! They also allow you to try out your design without destroying your pictures or wasting your supplies. The software to create a photo book is very user friendly. Anyone with a taste of creativity can use it.
- Display them Your Way - As a photographer, you have total control over the outcome of your book, display your images as you intended them.
- It's Fun! - Most of all, designing your own photo book is fun. Try your first one and you'll be hooked!
So, why not get some of those photos that are lying hidden on your hard drive into a hard cover photo book!
