My recent wedding album design

[Benjamin Young III]

hello everyone,

I just want to share to you what i've been up to last night... was up till 6am yesterday and finally finished it this afternoon... i've been wanting to do something like this for quite sometime, a matt album in a digital world ... cant wait for the actual album to arrive The opening of the album is not from right to left but from bottom to top like a calendar... The stroke in the middle is where the album fold will be

anyways, here's the layout..

Nice layout dude. :thumbsup:
like it..

 

[benghui]

great layout - i think some of the blank space can have short write ups

Hi Ben,

It may consider calender version of bride and groom photos in it for Next 12-13 months.
for flip up type calendar.
Each calendar with difference images for each calendar or wall hang type.
It just a though of it. It may good for the guest whose attend their wedding solemnisation as gift set. or even pocket size name card calender.

Thanks for share up the works here.

@everyone,

sorry for the really late reply guys :embrass: I've been away from my computer desk lately and been working on different kinds of shots that I like, in short practicing hehehhe also, will be conducting another portrait photography workshop here in my home town as well as putting up an itinerary for my upcoming wedding photography workshop as well...

thanks for the kind compliments... as a wedding photographer trying different things are always fun and really helps me to think outside the box, though this idea came from another famous american photographer but thought I'd put my spin on it

@benghui, the blank space is intentional and I'm really a big fan of writing "cheesy" quotes and phrases on my designs heheheheh just my 2 cents

@KHC, I thought about it that way and a couple actually asked me if I could do it that way their favorite images to be apart of their own personalized calendar

@lincolnchan, Yes all my designs will be printed and become a book after but it will all be done by a supplier of mine from the US. can't wait for it to arrive!!!

IS it just my monitor or is there too much whitespaces on the designs..?
Layout is nice but design-?? :dunno:
Or is it intentional to leave the whitespaces there?

 

[deadstrength]

great design! but aint that a lil too much white space?

 

[Benjamin Young III]

@fifiee,

its your monitor... :bsmilie:

the design of the negative space is intentional.... for me, you start with a blank space but it doesn't mean that you need to put something in it...

 

[Benjamin Young III]

deadstrength,

thanks for the compliments...

I show my kind of design to my clients, and if they like it that way then I am happy... If clients wanted to add more pics then this kind of album type is not for them and i'll design a different book for them.

when I design my wedding books, I want it to be different all the time and I think that it all will depend on a photographer if he/she will fill every single inch of the spread with pictures or just 1 picture a spread ....

haha! great mindset you have!
must learn more from you people already :bsmilie:

 

[fifiee]

honestly.. too much blank spaces...

In design speak, white space is a designer's best friend.

To TS, love the clean, minimalist layouts.
Draws attention to the images.
