I'm using Loxely Color to print the Album. It's a 10x8 Hardback coffee Album.

I'm charging 135 pounds for it. Do you think that's reasonable? Anyone else using Loxely?

Each image in the slideshow is a double spread :)

Thanks :D

Guess that is about $200 US. For here that would be low price wise. I like the style of page 3 and 5 the best--a photo is the background and others used as insets.

I agree, the price is very low.

It's very simple and boxy. If that is what they want, great. In the future though, think about using more dynamic layouts. The possibilities with digital albums are endless. They don't have to be laid out like matted albums. You can use opacities, gradients, different layer styles and blending modes, etc.

Thanks for your sugestions :D They did point out from the beginning that they wanted some fresh and clean and not too 'trendy', as they were an older couple. I think I fulfilled this for them?

Ths layout is very similar to one I did for a client in the fall. Second marriage and they weren't really that interested in anything "different", although I did design one page using an more opaque background and they liked that page, but they wanted to rest very "traditional" looking. As long as the client is happy, that's the important thing.

It's nice and simple as they wanted. The only thing that bothers me is the repetitiveness of set 3. Perhaps some other detail shots with the bouquet would look nice?
