Album design process
How it works
step by step
01.
The initial contact
Whether you know exactly which photo album you want to order, or you haven’t the foggiest where to start; get in touch and we can have a chat about your requirements. I’ll then put together a quote and some potential options or ideas.
02.
get the ball rolling
Once you’re happy with your photo album choice, you simply send over your photos (usually I suggest WeTransfer or I can send a DropBox link) plus a deposit payment which is usually around 50% of the balance.

04.
let's get designing
It’s now time to start work on designing your photo album or Storybook. If you’ve sent through all your images to choose from, I’ll start by organising those. Then I’ll plan the overall structure of the layout and design some sample spreads in your chosen style.
05.
the first draft
Once you’ve approved the design style, I’ll produce the first draft of your photo album or storybook which you’ll receive in a pdf format. You get the chance to review and make changes.
06.
sign off
Once you’re completely happy with how the design looks, send over your approval and the album design part is done. It’s at this point that the final balance payment is due.
07.
off to print
Now’s the time to make any final decisions on your cover and box choices and any text or logos we’re including. Then it’s off to the manufacturer to print and bind your photo album or book. Depending on the album range, the process can take anywhere between 2-4 weeks.
08.
it's in your hands
Once I’ve received the photo album or book, I’ll check through to make sure everything looks perfect and then I’ll send it onto you and we’re all done!
