Don’t wanna face backhanded compliments for your album? Then make sure this doesn’t happen.

“Aw, that’s one wonderful album!” said Joanna to Cindy as she smiled hesitantly with an expression as if she had seen some abomination. And indeed it was. It was an aesthetic abomination, a disaster of an album design that was straight out of someone’s bad side of creativity. And then all doubts turned into solid belief for Cindy. The album design company had created an ugly album, to put it straight forward!

People cringe when they see such gems of someone’s “unique creativity”! Now this isn’t something that makes a lot of difference, does it? As you would think! Meaning, who gives a damn about an album design?! It’s not like you are buying a car or a house or an ornate piece of furniture!

And that's where you are going wrong. People will judge your occasions album and give you their priceless reaction. To save yourself the embarrassment, it is always better to ensure that you do not end up with bad album design.

Let’s Put Some Effort. Let’s Get Some Good Designs On Board!

A good album design means just a few, but very important things. This include:

No Thank You! No Dull Colors:

Ask your album design company not to add dull or “yucky” colors to your albums. For Heaven’s sake, this is 2020 and we still have people lining the sides of their albums with “brownish” beige shades. Are you making a wedding album (or any other occasion album, sorry picnickers) or an annual financial report for your office?! Some nominees of dull colors that some album design companies will choose are beige, brown, chocolate, dark green and other unmentionables.

Make them know that you are not a total ignoramus in terms of aesthetics and that you will stand firm on your ground and demand good colors for your album design.

Keep Bad Graphics For B-Grade Movies:

Sometimes, album design companies will create their albums with bad graphics such as couples in water bubbles floating mid-air or people partying in the midst of bright colorful lights. This is all bad Photoshop. This sort of bad album design is unfortunately still a part of people’s choices and habits. It is unfathomable sometimes that why would anyone go for a bad album design that does not only look bad as a design but also reflects badly on them? Album design has to look genuine and cool, rather than looking phony and cropped.

This is not to say that Photoshopped albums are always bad. Image editing software has done some wonderful magic to albums, especially wedding albums.

Positively Do Not Use Cheap Materials:

Cheap materials like false leather, low quality plastic and low-quality cardboard are used by album design services. Ask your album design company to use high-quality materials such as genuine leather, good-quality plastic and cardboard/paper. You can compare that with materials that are used for making high-quality annual diaries.

You must be knowing those annual diaries that you can see of office desks. Your album should ideally look like that. Leather bound, tightly knit with smooth and firm finishing. This will help you make good memories feel good to hold in hands and keep those nosy retards from cringing at your wedding album!

Here Are 3 Things You Shouldn’t Do To Get A Good Album!

So after having a look at what should not be done, let's take a look at what should and can be done to get a high-quality album done for your occasion. Always make sure that the album design cost is within your budget limits. Your album design agency should be worth it, about which we shall discuss later.

Find A Good Album Design Company:

Album design services are a dime in a dozen. They are filled-up all over the town. Or you can get it done online also. However, when it comes to maintaining quality, you should do some research of your own. Just like you wouldn't settle for some backyard-garage enthusiasts to fix your Ford or Toyota Prius and would look toward professionals, the same way you should look for professional album design services.

You will get one hundred percent of your album design prices compensated with their high-quality albums. If you have decided to create a wedding album, it should definitely be get done by old trusted professionals.

Use Appropriate Colors:

It depends on the occasion what kind of color you need to use for your album. If you are going to make a wedding album, the album design needs to have balanced colors such as light gray and white to reflect the lightheartedness and happiness of the occasion. You can also use pink for the bride and her friends.

If you are making an album for some rotary club event or a tour, you can have the album design with colors like brown or even dark gray. For a children’s album like a party or orphan’s album, you can add color or rainbows.

Some Concluding Words...

Album design is important since it reflects the spirit of the event for which the album was made. Don’t mess this up. If you already have, come to us, and we will fix it. And if you haven’t come to us and we’ll make sure there ain’t another mess of an album!
