Dotted in Blue Album Design

A slightly different take on the color-blocked album design, I used dotted lines rather than solid color blocks to accent the images. The blue fits in perfectly with the couple’s blue and green decor and wedding design. Images courtesy Turn Loose the Art.

The entire album design is viewable using Fundy’s awesome proofing system. Lately, I’ve also been using Finao’s iPad app to proof more realistic covers to our clients as well.

Sample Album Season!

Miguel Pola sent this album out to me, his first for the winter album sale. He wanted a simple sample to showcase his work for 2011. He’s got the right idea, because now all future clients will see the beauty of a simple album design rather than cluttering up those spreads!

A New Twist on Color-Blocking

adminbritney — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:29:54 +0000

I designed this client album using a touch of their own wedding decor as a block next to some images, rather than using a regular color block. They used the pattern from the inside of their invitations throughout the wedding, including favor notices and escort cards. I decided to incorporate into their album design as well.

Vacation + Holiday Announcements

adminbritney — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:40:44 +0000

It’s that time again, the end of summer blues. I’m heading off for a short vacation and am closing the Willow Album Design Offices from August 22-28. Emails will not be answered, album approvals and uploads will have to wait until I return.

When I do return, it will be the start of the fall rush. What does this mean for you?
1. If you’re a current client (you’ve sent in at least one album in the past), it simply means you’ll receive more of the same great service. I will of course recommend sending albums in sooner rather than later, as my turnaround is still 7 business days and with revisions this can easily extend into two weeks.

2. If you’ve never sent an album in before or don’t yet have an ftp account, I will of course recommend setting that up immediately if you’re planning on sending in albums this fall for the holiday season delivery. Current clients will be given priority in the design cue throughout all of October and November.

I’ll be posting album manufacturer deadlines as I receive them over the next month, and it’s always safest to move your own personal deadlines up 3 or 4 weeks prior to avoid headaches.

Mixing Album Design Styles

Leslie just sent this wedding over to me, asking me to design her a killer sample since the wedding was in Paris, France. Since Leslie does a lot of Organic Design wedding albums, I thought keeping that idea and expanding a bit would be great for a sample album. I sampled colors from the bride’s bouquet and used a mix of color-blocked and organic design elements.

Heidi Peters Album

Heidi Peters sent me a few photos of her beautiful fall album. Finao bound the album with the Fox Downs non-leather material, and I think it looks great. Thanks to Heidi for trusting me with her album design and sending me the final product images!

Miguel Pola sent this design over on the last day of my January album sale! He included a great mix of portraits and I used the 40 page design to emphasize those images.

Last week I received a gorgeous set of images from Heidi Peters Photography. I love how her processing really matches the style of the wedding, and was happy to incorporate colors from their fall-themed wedding into the album design.
