Book description
Fresh, clean, and SIMPLE. Album Moxie makes designing
photo albums a breeze.
For a lot of photographers, album design is synonymous with
headache. The hours (and hours!) spent designing are usually
followed by weeks (or even months) of revisions, making for a
painful experience for everyone involved. But it doesn’t have
to be that way!
This book will show you how to combine the right tools with a
simple strategy, making it possible (even easy) to design basic
albums in seconds, and custom wedding or portrait albums in an
hour–or less. By the time you finish the book, you’ll
have a beautiful, finished design that’s ready to be ordered!
Overhauling the entire approach to traditional album design and
marketing, Album Moxie shows how albums can be as good for
your workflow as they are for your bottom line–all while
adding value for your clients.
This fun, spunky, and no-nonsense book:
Provides a simplified approach for photographers looking to create and market wedding and portrait albums
Walks through the entire album process, from choosing a vendor to exporting production-ready files
Guides readers step by step through the design, retouching, and exporting of an actual 20-page album
Covers all the necessary tools, including the basics of the one tool that design professionals know and love–Adobe InDesign
