Vacation + Holiday Announcements

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:40:44 +0000

It’s that time again, the end of summer blues. I’m heading off for a short vacation and am closing the Willow Album Design Offices from August 22-28. Emails will not be answered, album approvals and uploads will have to wait until I return.

When I do return, it will be the start of the fall rush. What does this mean for you?
1. If you’re a current client (you’ve sent in at least one album in the past), it simply means you’ll receive more of the same great service. I will of course recommend sending albums in sooner rather than later, as my turnaround is still 7 business days and with revisions this can easily extend into two weeks.

2. If you’ve never sent an album in before or don’t yet have an ftp account, I will of course recommend setting that up immediately if you’re planning on sending in albums this fall for the holiday season delivery. Current clients will be given priority in the design cue throughout all of October and November.

I’ll be posting album manufacturer deadlines as I receive them over the next month, and it’s always safest to move your own personal deadlines up 3 or 4 weeks prior to avoid headaches.

Mixing Album Design Styles

Leslie just sent this wedding over to me, asking me to design her a killer sample since the wedding was in Paris, France. Since Leslie does a lot of Organic Design wedding albums, I thought keeping that idea and expanding a bit would be great for a sample album. I sampled colors from the bride’s bouquet and used a mix of color-blocked and organic design elements.

Jerry Frazier just sent this set of images over to me a few days ago, and I’m very happy with the resulting album. It looks like the couple has an edgy side mixed with boldness, so I incorporated that into the album design.

New client Vanessa Adams from Vanessa Joy Photography sent over this album with hot pink flowers and accents, so what better color choice for the organic elements? She also took advantage of the DWF discount and has a nicely sized album now!

I’ve been getting some great sets of images in here lately! Leslie Gilbert of Leslie Gilbert Photography sent me this wedding a couple weeks ago. While a lot of images, the book still has a very clean, crisp feel that will carry this album into the years to come.
