I’m super excited and SO THANKFUL that you do this. Honestly - this is the best gift I’ve ever given myself. Thank you for getting our family memories to print - it is a priceless service you provide. -Renee Bonuccelli-
DESIGN OPTIONS: ONCE I RECEIVE YOUR DESIGN PREFERENCES, I WILL PREPARE AN INITIAL DESIGN GRAPHIC INDICATING MY BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES, COLORS, AND TEXT (EXAMPLE SHOWN BELOW) FOR YOUR CUSTOM PHOTO BOOK. I ALWAYS PROVIDE THREE (3) EXAMPLES OF THE SECTION PAGE (SHOWN TO THE RIGHT) AND SAMPLE LAYOUT PAGES FOR YOUR REVIEW. AT THIS POINT, YOU’LL SELECT THE DIRECTION YOU WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR PHOTO BOOK. WITH YOUR FEEDBACK, I’LL START WORKING ON YOUR PHOTO BOOK DRAFT.

DESIGN OPTIONS: WITH EACH DESIGN OPTION, I LIKE TO PROVIDE SMALL DETAILS THAT MAKE EACH PHOTO BOOK UNIQUE AND PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS WHERE THE DESIGN REALLY COMES ALIVE. HERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES TO ILLUSTRATE HOW DESIGN ELEMENTS WILL ELEVATE YOUR CUSTOM DESIGN.

CONTENTS OPTIONS: ALMOST ALL OF MY PHOTO BOOKS COME WITH A CUSTOM DESIGNED TABLE OF CONTENTS. THE CONTENTS INDICATE THE LOCATION OF EACH MONTH (FOR AN ANNUAL BOOK) OR EVENTS WITHIN YOUR PHOTO BOOK. THE FOLLOWING REPRESENT A FEW CONTENTS DESIGN OPTIONS.

SECTION OPTIONS: ONCE I’VE DESIGNED A TABLE OF CONTENTS, I LOVE PREPARING STAND-OUT SECTION PAGES TO START OFF EACH MONTH OR EVENT. THE FOLLOWING REPRESENT A RANGE OF OPTIONS. IF YOU SEE ONE YOU LIKE, INDICATE IT ON THE DESIGN FORM. I WILL CUSTOMIZE THE SECTION PAGE WITH THE OTHER DESIGN INFO YOU’VE PROVIDED.

THE COVER IS THE LAST PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. OFTEN CLIENTS HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT PHOTO THEY WANT TO INCLUDE FOR THE COVER. IF THAT’S THE CASE, LET ME KNOW IN AN EMAIL. IF NOT, NO PROBLEM. I’LL SELECT A PHOTO FROM YOUR COLLECTION. I ALWAYS PROVIDE AT LEAST THREE (3) COVER DESIGNS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM. REVIEW THE OPTIONS BELOW AND LET ME KNOW IN THE DESIGN FORM IF THERE ARE SOME YOU WOULD LIKE AS POSSIBILITIES.

I LOVED IT!!! I am not the crying type, but I cried! I am so super happy with it! It far exceeded what I expected! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -Sandy Tracy-
COLOR OPTIONS: COLOR IS AN IMPORTANT DESIGN ELEMENT FOR CUSTOM PHOTO BOOKS. EVEN DECIDING YOU PREFER A DARK GRAY, SUCH AS WITH THIS TYPE, INSTEAD OF A BLACK, HELPS ME UNDERSTAND A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR DESIGN STYLE. DO YOU WANT A PARTICULAR COLOR OR SHADE OF COLOR TO BE CONSISTENTLY USED THROUGHOUT YOUR BOOK? DO YOU WANT ONLY BLACK AND WHITE TEXT THROUGHOUT? DO YOU WANT SOME COLOR BLOCKS WITH A COLOR FOUND WITHIN YOUR PHOTOGRAPH? DESIGN-SEEDS (EXAMPLES TO THE RIGHT) IS A GREAT WEBSITE TO SELECT TONES OR COLORS THAT YOU MAY WANT FOR YOU BOOK. THESE COLORS COULD BE USED FOR CAPTIONS, TITLES, PHOTO BOX OUTLINES, OR COLOR BLOCK GRAPHICS. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE, YOU CAN PIN IT, OR LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SELECT A COLOR PALETTE FOR YOU!

TEXT OPTIONS: TEXT IS ANOTHER CRITICAL ELEMENT. YOU MAY HAVE PARTICULAR FONTS YOU LOVE TO USE. IF SO, LET ME KNOW. FONT STYLES CAN BE USED FOR: • COVER TITLE • SECTION TITLES • PAGE TITLES • CAPTIONS • DATES OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS • PAGE NUMBERS
TYPICALLY, I USE A FONT FOR ALL TITLES, CAPTIONS, DATES AND PAGE NUMBERS. THEN I LIKE TO USE A 'FEATURE' FONT FOR THE SECTION PAGES. THIS MAKES THESE ORGANIZING PAGES UNIQUE.
