Design Tip: Draw on Your Other Marketing Materials
When you’re designing printed photo books for your business - whether you are using them in place of a portfolio, to compliment a gallery showing or for your clients as a way for them to have their prints in what feels like a more meaningful way - one of the best tips that you can receive is simple: when you’ve been working with a great design stick with it.
If you love the design of your other marketing materials and are planning on marketing yourself with printed photo books, shouldn’t you be making an effort to keep the theme consistent? Even if you choose a complimentary color for the cover of your photo book, you can be sure that you’re maintaining some design consistency; the same is true if you choose the same fonts that you use on your website and print marketing materials throughout your printed photo books.
Of course, there are bound to be some differences between your marketing materials and the printed photo books that you design for your clients. Even if it’s something subtle - like the way you reference yourself as a photographer, there are ways of focusing on the big picture.
Everything that you do within your photography business contributes to the ways in which you market yourself; be sure that you are bringing that design into printed photo books - regardless of how subtly - and you will be able to stay on top of it.
