All our advice to create an original photo album

Admit it, taking the time to create your photo book only to end up with the same thing as your neighbor or mother-in-law could be a bit frustrating. The idea, therefore, is to personalize your photo album as much as possible to get a unique and highly personalized object.

Do you want to make a unique gift? How do you gather your photos into a single book? And more importantly, in an original way?

A photo album is not just for artists. Whatever your goal in terms of completion, such as a family photo album or a baby photo album; there are essential techniques for arranging your photographs and highlighting them.

Similarly, whether it's when choosing pictures or during the layout, it's possible to be creative.

To start, we suggest selecting your favorite photographs before thinking about the layout.

1 How to choose your best photos

The photos will contribute more than 50% to the originality of your photo book. It's crucial that you give this selection special attention.

First and foremost, the quality of the photos themselves is crucial. The printout depends on it. Choose sharp, stain-free, and well-exposed photographs.

On the other hand, pick images that convey emotions or tell a story. What do you feel looking at this image? What memories does it stir up?

If you intend to share your album, don't hesitate to include photos that speak to your loved ones. Personal snaps are always welcome. For example, in a birthday photo album, insert portraits of the guests, family portraits, and shots of unique moments.

Once your folder is ready, move on to selecting the theme.

2 Address a personal and original theme

Our site offers a wide range of products, depending on life events (weddings, parties), people (babies, little girls), or contexts (business, travel).

For holidays, you can choose from books dedicated to Christmas, Easter, or the New Year. This option allows for a personal and special gift. We also offer a variety of baby albums. Themes are pink for girls and blue for boys. You can reverse them according to your preference. Classic albums have more neutral colors and simpler patterns. They are suitable for all kinds of content.

Of course, all these themes are completely modifiable and adaptable. For example, if you like a baby birth album, you can adapt it and insert portraits of your nephew or grandmother.

Take into account the cover as well as the presentation of the pages. Depending on the personalities in your photos or the atmosphere of the event you want to highlight, opt for an appropriate design.

When you have selected the personalization theme, place your photographs.

3 Create a personalized layout

To place your images, you can choose a chronological order (arrival of guests, Santa Claus, toast, entrance of the grandparents, sharing of gifts) or by categories (close family, friends, in the city, in the forest).

You can vary the pleasures by placing the photos randomly. This way, you will surprise the readers. Here are a few examples of layouts offered among many:

Furthermore, little messages are always welcome. You can describe the photos, add captions, or tell a story.

In the case of a recipe book, there are large spaces for recipe details on the pages.

Finally, creativity often comes in the heat of the moment. Chances are you'll find inspiration while designing. Trust your gut and visualize the printed version on paper. You are also likely to gather one or two opinions before finalizing your order.
