Three Photo Book Layout Ideas
When you’re looking for a photo book layouts that will make your work shine, you’ll find that there are two options. The first is to let a designer do the layout work. Still, if you want to have control over the process, you’ll want to consider the following three layout ideas that will help to make your images pop.
Consider a two page spread.
Great landscapes of a mountain range. Expansive fields of poppies or wildflowers. A happy couple standing on the beach soon after their wedding.
When dramatic moments need to be frozen in time and celebrated for what they are; when your images need to speak for themselves, give them the attention they deserve.
Try shifting the angle.
When you layout your photo book, think outside of what’s conventional. Shift the photos a bit; skew them on the page to see whether or not you’re able to create a more dramatic angle. You may choose to crop the photo to that angle before having it printed on the page, but sometimes a shift of the scene is enough to make you - and everyone who picks up your photo books - look at things differently.
Create a photo montage within your photo book.
Maybe you’ll use smaller versions of all of the included photos on the cover of your photo book; maybe you’ll use a montage at the beginning and end of the book. Maybe you’ll use three smaller images along with a larger photo on the page. Grouping related photos can be a way of unifying them; it can also be an effective way of adding more images to the layout.
Photo book layout is largely based on your preference, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a reason why an image comes before or after another. Be sure that you’re thinking of the story when you decide on a photo book layout.
