ALBUM DESIGN
STEP 1 - SELECT YOUR IMAGES
The albums fit about 90 images give or take, so either I can design it myself and send it to you to proof, or (the most popular option) you can choose some of your favourites (anywhere up to 85) and I can design it around those and add extras to fill in the gaps in the story where necessary. You can simply create a list of favourites in the gallery, which will tell me which images you have chosen so I can design it using those.
STEP 2 - SELECT YOUR COVER AND EMBOSSING
Personally I quite like the darker fabrics (Black Licorice, Sugar Plum etc) with Copper / Gold / blind embossing but thats completely subjective, the world is your oyster. Black with pink embossing also looks freakin’ great, but isn’t for everyone. Also completely subjective, but I’m not a big fan of any of the Asahi fabrics as the texture is a bit funny, so maybe avoid those. The rest are epic though!

LASTLY - the velvet is a total vibe, but can only be blind embossed.

STEP 3 - SELECT YOUR FONT AND TEXT
Getting their names on the album is what most people do (plus maybe the date in smaller script below), but don’t be afraid to think outside the box. A favourite song lyric, or even a line drawing you both love (don’t be afraid to look for one). We can put literally anything on the cover of these (as long as its just lines), and the more you customise it the more it will be really be yours.
Some popular fonts are below, but I can use anything so if you have a different one you like just let me know. I’ve also had some templates done recently too which you can see below, these can also be done in any cover / font colour combination.
Once you are done, I’ll mock up a couple of cover designs, you can choose the one you like best and we are good to go!
