How to Design a Wedding Album

Today I'm sharing how I go about designing wedding albums using fundy design software. This is the process I use to design albums for wedding and portrait clients.
1- Pick images: A few from each part of the day so that you can begin at the start of the day and tell a story
2- Import those images into your design software
3- Lay them out on the page (making sure everything will fit within your set about of spreads)
TIP: Less is more. White space is your friend and will make your designs look better.
TIP: Alternate your designs so that not every page is the same
TIP: Avoid having people's faces in the fold of the album

    I've been waiting for this! I love the program and the idea of making the albums in house. Can you do a part 2 to this? I would love to see how the printing goes (do you use 3rd party?) and the final product (if possible). Thank you again for sharing! I appreciate the detail! 🙏🏼

    Hi Joy, thanks for this video. I have a coupla questions, kindly excuse me if it sounds absurd. After adding images to the Fundy's spread or page, does the resolution of an image go down? Is there any reduction in file size? - Thanks.

  • @Joymichelle

    3 жыл бұрын

    No there isn’t a reduction in image resolution. Keep in mind though that depending on the size of the spread that you choose you will need a large image size to accommodate it
