At Christmastime, clients love to schedule photo shoots for themselves and their family and order print products to commemorate the year. The holiday season offers photographers a fantastic opportunity to sell premium photo albums with eye-catching Christmas themes!
Here are some Christmas photo album design ideas and tips to help with your design process!
1. Christmas Bling
Once you’ve decided to prepare a Christmas album, you need to add some holiday bling. Adding images or design elements of ribbons, bells, snowflakes and mistletoe are both eye-catching and versatile ways to make an album festive.
You can upload these images into Zno Designer™ and use them to create an album sample to entice your clients.
2. Green and Red
Adding festive green and red colors will set the tone and make your design pop. These holiday colors are a great way to add contrast and interest to photos with winter themes – such as a snowy white field or a brick fireplace.
3. Personalized Text
Many clients book a photo shoot for Christmas because they want a record of the special loved ones at that special time. The use of personalized text will add meaning to the album to make it more special. Don’t know what to say? The use of quotes can convey the same sentiment. You can easily add them to the album design using the ‘Text’ button feature.
4. Photo Album Title
The album cover sets the tone for all the pages that follow. Selecting the right cover photo and title can be difficult. Here are some suggestions to make this easier:
What are the relationships featured throughout the album?
What was the date and place of this photoshoot?
What are some phrases that reflect the holidays?
5. Shipping Deadlines
Design, production and shipping takes time, especially during the holiday season. To make sure your clients receive their Christmas gifts on time, it is important to pay attention to the shipping deadlines! Most print labs will mention it on their homepage.
6. Use an Album Design Service
Photographers have many options to design photo albums online. Some pre-designed templates and layouts can increase your creativity and efficiency. Making use of a professional album designer software like Zno Designer™, a cloud-based album designer software, with an online proofer integration, can help you a lot in peak periods.
