So you always have them to hand to reminisce over a coffee party or two. By the way, I choose that Real photo photo book square out, 30×30cmas binding I choose hardcoverI like the photo quality Real Photo Matt preferably.

To me the Design of a photo book To make it as easy as possible, I sort the photos in advance by topic or month. To do this, I create various albums with the desired photos on my smartphone and then transfer them to the PC – because if I want to design a photo book online, I still prefer to do it on my MacBook. The design is also possible on a smartphone, but for me personally it is usually much too confusing.

If you’ve never created a photo book before, there’s no reason to despair.

5 useful tips and tricks to create a photo book

Think 5 best tips and tricksalso for Photo Book Beginner, I have summarized for you below. Here you can get an overview of how easy and uncomplicated it is to register Create photo book online leaves.

Tip 1: Sort and edit photos

The maybe most complex part of the photo book Creating is probably choosing the right photos. In times of smartphones, we simply have a huge selection and even if every photo is linked to memories, you have to choose one for better or for worse. My cell phone used to be full of dog photos and since I’m a mom, more photos are added every day, as you can probably imagine.

After the topic for the photo book has been determined, I look for the right photos and edit them if necessary. I then file them into month/theme folders so I can later add them to my photo book chronologically.

Tip 2: Choose a design

With the Online configurator from MEINFOTO you can design your photo book individually. Either you let yourself be inspired by the existing design templates or live out your own creativity to the full. I personally always prefer a whole simple, minimalist design. In short: I’ll let the photos do the talking!

By the way, there is a photo book in five popular formats with hardcover binding. I always order the same format because, as mentioned, they are in our living room and at the same time serve a decorative purpose. You can choose between the pages and the cover of the photo book semi-matt or gloss-matt Select. Here I choose satin – that’s just a great finish for photo productions of any kind.

Tip 3: The design – import photos

as soon as that Basic structure of the photo book ready, you can start designing. You can use the countless templates, clip art and backgrounds or keep it simple. Even if you sign up for a pre-made page layout decide, you can choose the individual Customize pages anyway. Individual blocks can also be easily inserted at the desired location using copy and paste. This is pretty handy because it allows me to easily duplicate certain photo arrangements and text designs.

Little by little, I drag the desired photos onto the pages of the photo book in the online configurator and design them page by page. In the preview you can always get a good overview of what the photo book will look like in the end.

Tip 4: Text and fonts

Pictures speak volumes and basically don’t need much text. However, it is up to you whether and if so, how much text is used. Short captions or funny anecdotes are just as possible as long picture descriptions. One consistent font and size ensure a coherent design. For example, I always choose the same font and size for headings as for the body text.

I like to add text to funny statements, new words from the child, special events on a certain day, holiday locations – otherwise I tend to hold back with text in photo books.

Tip 5: Don’t overload pages

As is so often the case, less is usually more. The more photos are shown on a page, the more tiring it is for the eye. I like to choose for our photo books a uniform basic design. There are double pages, for example, where there are only two pictures, and then there are also pages where there are nine small square pictures that are coordinated with each other. The latter fits quite well if you have a series of photos that harmonize well with each other. (Child’s first steps, sunsets from vacation, hiking tour in the mountains, etc.)

With the different design options you can definitely also provide variety and if you like it, use a photo extensively as a background, or put a particularly beautiful photo over a double page.
