What size for your digital albums is your favorite?

I have already designed one flush mount album which turned out beautiful. It was

a 10X12 size. I am not sure if I want to continue with that size as I do not see

it offered at very many album company's. I used White Wedding Album for my flush

mount album. I will also be using Asuka albums which only offer a square format

(10x10,8x8,etc.) So I am wondering if I should streamline my albums and use a

square format for both style albums or if I should just continue with the 10x12

size album for one style(flushmount) and a square format for the coffee table

album from Askua.

 

What is your favorite size to design with and fits the proportions of your

pictures well?

 

Thanks!

i like the 10x10

Nice thing about square formats is that you can design a 12x12 and then resize to 10x10 or 8x8 for budget reasons. You can also easily resize to 5x5 parent sized albums... or even 3x3 pocket albums..

I like the rectangle format for drama but the square looks more like traditional matted albums so some clients like that look.

 

I think it important to have options. Some clients are more creative and receptive to a dramatic look and others are not. I only offer the parent sizes in square, 8x8 so that is one spot that is simpler.

 

I agree with Mark that is nice to just resize some of the layouts and pop them into the smaller album offerings.

 

I find it is easy to have an option available with a price and even if no one picks it you look better for having some options on the list.

On the other hand if you want to stick to 2:3 format to suit full page 35mm images you can work with a 10X15", 12X8" or 6X9" or even 6X4" albums to gain the advantage that Mark is talking about.

I normally use 12x12 for my finished album & 7x11 for my proof albums I build my proof albums myself and I put my 12x12 albums together myself
