I got busy and started organizing the thousand+ pages I have never printed into books. Before I start printing the books, I want to make title pages. What do you do for title pages for your books? What information do you put on that page? Show me your title pages, pretty please.
My most recent one: 2018-Brian-Head-Title-Page-copy by bestcee posted Aug 3, 2018 at 11:09 AM And one before that. 2017 Alaska Cruise TItle Page by bestcee posted Jan 22, 2018 at 11:07 PM I've also done them with the dates, place and people on them.
I have a bunch... I think I like to make them... and with leather albums, they end up being that first page.
I make my covers to look very similar. I change the colour, the flourish, the date and the photos, but the format is always the same. It makes it easier for me! Here is the cover from my 2017 album:
I don't do title pages. For the covers, I do the year in big numbers if it's a chronological album or the simplest title possible for a vacation, etc. album. I copy the same on the back minus the numbers/title. I don't spend more than 15 minutes on a cover/back/spine of a photobook.
I just printed two large photobooks, and I didn't have a title page, other than choosing one of the company's stock layouts and adding the images I wanted plus the dates. The layouts were over a few years, so it wasn't a vacation or other event. One of them included layouts of just my children in photos together, and then the other was of my hubby and I together. I was in a rush to take advantage of the unlimited pages deal, so I didn't plan out the cover and spine as much as I would have liked, but it was a learning experience so I know for the future. You're thinking ahead of me! LOL I do have a couple of cover pages completed for events/vacations. One is for my 2017 Document Your December album. I still need to work on the covers for my 2016 and 2015 DYD albums, too! A cover page for our 2015 Disney trip: And a cover page for our 2012 Disney trip:
Most times I save the title page and the cover for last. Sometimes I make them the same and sometimes not. Sometimes I do an overview, i.e. one pic from each month or season. One year I did a "then" pic from Jan 1 and a "now" pic from Dec type layout. My last one I just jumped in with the first photo I took and started the book from there - I put my favorite page as the cover and changed the title on it. A couple of vacation title pages:
