Tips On Designing Your Own Coffee Table Photo Books

By Cheri Knowles


The idea of having coffee table photo books is becoming popular. A smaller attractive book of a more manageable size is more viewable than the traditional kind. Your book can hold as many images as you want, ranging from 50 to 300, so you can cover either a small family gathering to a large event such as a wedding.

Professionals will take your shots and record them in a coffee table photo book as to your requirements. You can ask for a selection of sizes, bindings and colors for the cover. However, you don't need to employ a professional; there are many online applications that will allow you to make your own.

Having taken the digital images of the special event, you need to then download these to your computer. There are a number of photo book services, some may require you to download a programme, and others work purely online. Next you upload the pictures to the book service you have selected.

You yourself are the editor of the book, so you can order the prints as you wish, changing them around to get the best layout. The services offer various backgrounds for your pictures and different layouts. Having grouped the images in the album to your satisfaction you can then select the album itself.

A design known as 'Showcase' has special pages containing place-holders for DVDs, there is also a removable flap that protects the attractive cover of your book. The 'Lay-flat' design has flat opening pages, displaying your prints without margins or gaps. The best coffee table model is one that has a hard durable cover with a jacket to keep the book from damage and has flaps internally.

Covers for coffee table photo books can be made of genuine or animal friendly leather; the synthetic form is available in a wider range of colors. Wait now for your book to be delivered from either your professional photographer or the online company. Upon receipt you can sit back and enjoy your attractive book, displaying shots of that special occasion.
