6 Ways To Get Out Of Your Photo Book Rut

By:


Designing an online photobook provides us with countless choices. Many people are moving away from conventional albums to printed photo books as they are hassle-free to create and are fun to display. You can create a photo book for any purpose, not just the traditional vacation or newborn baby photobook. Below are several ideas for photo books that may be new to you.

Photo Book Cookbook

Almost everyone has a special recipe we remember from our childhood. Developing a cook book filled with favorite recipes is a nice way to safeguard treasured family favorites and share them with our kids. Suggest to your family that they add their own favorite recipes then scan and upload them as jpegs or you could add the text from within the photo book editor. Add photos of family members and food dishes and you've got a great keepsake of family recipes. It would be nice to give one to all the members of your family. Further, a cook book is an oft-used method of fundraising. Get recipes from your club members then make and sell a cook book as a fund-raiser.

Professional Portfolio Photo Book

If you need to present your work you want it to look polished and professional. What about a photo book showcasing your finest work. You can choose the layout and size that best fits your needs and add photos of your projects and text. Once your book is printed you will have an elegant and simple showcase of your work for potential customers. A photobook would be perfect for professionals from graphic artists to architects and floral designers.

Sports Club Highlights Book

A photo book of your kids' sport team is a sure hit. A printed and bound photobook could be a special gift for the team coach or additional books could be printed for the whole group. You could create your book online then send the web link to the team so they could view it at home.

Recount Your Family's History

Those old black and white prints and Polaroids you have stored are likely getting faded or changing color. The best way to prevent further deterioration is to scan them and use the digitized images in a photobook. Consult with older relatives if you are not sure who some of the people are in the photos then compose a short family history to accompany the pics. Some people will create their family tree and scan it as a photo, then add it to their book.

Celebrate a Life

This might be done different ways. In celebration of a birthday milestone you could create a book filled with highlights of their life. As an illustration, for a 65th birthday photo book you could include pictures from their childhood and school events, senior promo and college graduation, other life events like marriage, birth of children, parties, vacation time, and other important events in their life. Write about the highlights of their life to go along with the pictures and now you have a one-of-a-kind gift they will treasure. This idea could also be used to honor the life of someone who has recently passed away.

School or Organization Scrapbook

A customized scrapbook for your kids' class or an organization is fun to make. To create a school scrapbook, have other parents contribute their own photos to cover classroom activities, class trips, talent shows and other events. Just add some text and embellish with a little clip art and it will be a cool book to share with classmates and to give to the teacher.

A number of online photo book services let you post your creation on Facebook or your blog or you can send a web link to family and friends so they can look at it on line.
