Design Tips: Choosing a Theme for Your Photo Book
Designers will give you one tip more than any other: choose your theme. This is a great design tip for those who are getting ready to design a printed photo book to showcase their work.
When you set out to design a photo book, you’ll want to think about what your theme is.
If you’re a wedding photographer who is using photo books as an option for your clients, the theme of your photo book is likely going to be based on the theme of the wedding: stylish and modern, classic, based on a movie theme or holiday. If you’re going to be using a photo book for marketing your work, you’ll want to look at what message you’re trying to send. If you’re collecting travel photos into a book, you’ll want to consider a theme based on the place - using colors that are related to the place - or the shots you’re using - if you’ve taken underwater photos during your travels, you’ll look towards a theme based on water or coral.
Once you have a theme for the book you are designing, you’ll find that it’s far easier to choose your shots and organize your work.
