Creating a story using photo books can be fun and exciting. However, having to start from scratch may feel overwhelming. Mixbook provides a platform with several tools and templates to facilitate a seamless book-making process. While everyone's approach may be different, the end goal is to accomplish a personalized photography book that holds cherished memories. Below are some of the steps that will help you create a customized photo book.
Procedure for making a photo book
Visit the Mixbook website. The site contains templates with different themes that you can choose from. You can create a photo book for a wedding, holiday, family, travel, sports, birthday, recipes, and anniversaries. If you are not interested in a specific theme, you may select a blank page where you will find endless possibilities.
Select the size of your book
After selecting a theme or choosing a blank cover, you can now choose the size of your book, shape, type of paper, and cover style of your preference. There are different book layouts, including portrait, landscape, and square. In case of uncertainty on the type of paper and cover finishing, you can make adjustments later. However, you may need to lay out a new plan if you change the shape of your book.
Select your desired photos
You may now select the photos you want to include and upload them to your platform. The photo quality needs to be high to avoid warping and blurred images after printing. While choosing your photos, keep in mind the kind of outcome you would like to achieve. You may start selecting those that you like best as you narrow them down. A photo editor in Mixbook may indicate a photo with low quality as you are custom-making your book. This helps you ensure your photo book is the best quality.
Organize photos into albums
After uploading your photos on the site, you may now organize your photos in different albums. For a more organized storing of pictures, create a flexible album that allows you to group photos as you like.
You can manually add photos to your project. There is also an option for Mixbook to add them for you instead. The photo tool allows you to customize different items to fit your choice. You may include multiple photos on one page, design a diverse background, and add text.
The text tool allows you to caption photos. You may add dates and modify your text's size, font, and color to match your photo book. However, you should ensure that the texts do not overlap the photos for visibility after printing.
You may include the provided stickers for a creative touch. Place the stickers in the right place and be careful not to cover any vital information.
Review your work
Lastly, you may review your book to make sure you have placed photos properly and you have the appropriate size, font, style, and text color. Check for any misspellings on your texts and blank pages. You may ask a different person to review your book to be more specific. You may now place an order by clicking "checkout." At this point, you may still change your cover style or type of paper. After you are impressed with your creation, you may add your photo book to the cart for printing.
Besides storing your photos in an organized manner, photo books could be a gift for a loved one. Visit the photo book page on Mixbook and have fun creating your photography book.
