Album Design Styles

Album Design Styles

Trendy/Hip

Designs are free form, experimental, fun, and modern.
Panorama images will be used often. Borders will remain consistent (no mixing borders on a page) and multiple background colors will be used. Images will overlay and blend with background color. Opacity and transparency will be applied based on background color of the image. B&W and sepia images may appear on the same page.

Photojournalistic

Designs are simple, clean, detail oriented with a focus on storytelling and expressions. Bleed, keyline and sloppy borders as well as panorama images will be used. Black and white background colors as well as one extra color will keep the look classic. Images will overlay and blend with background color. Opacity and transparency will occasionally be applied and B&W and sepia images will not appear on the same page. Image details will be cropped and highlighted.

Contemporary/Modern

Designs are clean, evenly spaced and focus on romance and the mood. Bleed, keyline and sloppy borders as well as panorama images will be used. Black and white background colors as well as one extra color will keep the look classic. Images will overlay and blend with background color. Opacity and transparency will occasionally be applied and B&W and sepia images will not appear on the same page.

Traditional

Designs have a conservative look and feel, with use of same size wells, evenly spaced on each page. Images bleed or will have a keyline border and only black and white background colors will be used. Opacity and transparency will not be applied to an image and B&W and sepia images will not appear on the same page.
