I get asked tons of questions about the albums that I offer to my clients.  Which company do I use?  What do they look like? All kinds of things, so I thought I write up a quick blog post.

This album is a 40 page 12 x 12 album from Jennifer & Damons‘ October wedding at La Venta Inn.  I exclusively use Leather Craftsmen for all album printing and binding.  They have incredible service, fantastic detail choices and an impeccable product.

They also take care of branding the box with my logo.  Love.

We can imprint anything you’d like on your album.  Either on the spine or the cover. 

One of the biggest questions I get is about the crease in the middle of the spread.  I design all of the pages as spreads (2 pages).  Leather Craftsmen prints spreads, so there is no split in the middle of the page!  I’m always super careful not to put any faces in the middle of the crease, because, who wants to fold a face in half!  That little teeny line is where the book folds.

I tend to keep spreads very clean, no more than a few images per page.  I really feel that if there are too many things going on on a page, you lose it all and really can’t see anything.  Nothing stands out.  And giant images are my favorite.

These albums are so heavy.  So substantial.  Definitely something that will be on a shelf for many generations.  The top book is a 10 x 10 20 page sample album, and the bottom Jennifer & Damons’ 12 x 12 40 page album.
