A few design .

This wedding I just took yesterday and today had some time and play with design .

What do you think : can this page can use for wedding book or just regular photo print size 16X24 .The way I design for these photo is size 24X36 and 16X24 for normal size not for the book .

I know the book is about 15X15 or smaller size ,but I don't know that this type of the photo design can be use for the wedding book or not .

Thanks for looking the photos .

no matter how many people post in this thread, saying how much they dislike the frame styles you have used, or the layout you have chosed... for what it's worth > i think it is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

I think you have done an absolutely brilliant job on this, I love it! and i'm gathering some inspiration from this myself...

I'm glad that you like it , here is 2 more :

still very nice, rather a bold change from the first 3 you posted (bright yellow and blue) nice, but still think the first set were fantastic.

I hate to say it, but if I'm going to be completely honest...I can't stand it. Just my personal opinion, but stuff like this is what people tend to do when their pictures don't impress enough on their own. sorry

I like the first set. There are a few things I would change though. Take the first two for example, especially the second. In the sets of three small images you have the groom without his flower last and with the flower in the first and second. I would switch the first and third pics on both of the three small sets so its no flower first. In the forth spread I don't like the white brush stroke going through the girls(on the right) hair. As for the second posting, the first is alright but I don't like the yellow and blue on the second. A little too bold and doesn't match. Maybe try matching some colors in the pic and it might work.

These are all just my opinions. When posting your pics here just remember that opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one and they ALL stink. The only people you need to impress is yourself and your clients.

I find myself looking at the design and not a the photos.

And last one :

My comments would be the same as all the other comments i've made about albums.

The first 6 photo is I used template already made and with photoshop just drag and drop .So that why the white brush go over the girl hair that I can't change .But I can fix it later with healing brush or stamp tool .But I just play with the template already made to see the opinion fo all the people here .

The last four photo I used is another sofware to build the album design ,this one the so easy ...you just click and drag and adjust here and there ...1 ablum can be done in 2 hour .

Sorry for my broken english here ,I'll try my best .

Thank you all .

These pages are not my cup of tea at all, the design clashes with and detracts from the photographs. However, I did read a similar post elsewhere (sorry can't remember where), and it would seem that there are differences in design preferences among different cultures so your couple will probably love it.
On the first two pages, the large black and white pictures on the left may benefit from the same conversion as the last page, it would be more flattering to the bride. I'm sorry not to be more positive, it is just my opinion, but as was mentioned before, as long as you and the couple like it that is all that matters.

the bit in bold, is what I feel is sometimes heavily overlooked on this forum!

The design is distracting and uses dated effects. There is no consistency or flow to the design .. one page has a very different look from the next. The pics have flat lighting and heavy shadows from on-camera flash use.

You could consider out-sourcing your albums .. there are a number of firms offering modern album design templates, and also a number of firms who offer album design services. Bouncing the flash off a ceiling or wall would eliminated the shadows.

You are right about that ...I didn't follow the flow design ...I just pick 1 template here and there to just to see how it come out ...and that why it look very diiference form one to the other ...I just to show all the design here and pick out the opinion of all the people .So i can have my own design ,my styles base on the idea and some opinion here .

My flash is straight up to the celling ....but it's still have the shadow .

Because some of them is never been out to other community to learn the difference . I only know 1 styles and 1 culture and that it .For their design here ...I bet you that the asian people never hire them to design .

Just like food ...difference people had difference taste .

I agree with this statement. You have a great design but the pictures themselves suffer because of it.
