Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New pages added, would love more suggestions)

This is my first run at the first few pages. Any feedback is welcomed.

Keep in mind that:
a) the photos in the 'opening page' layouts are just placeholders...i may use different ones depending upon how the rest of the album comes out
b) The images you see below are spread across two pages..so this is both the left and the right side of the page.
c) The book is much larger than these images...about 12 inches wide (24 across two pages) by 16 inches high.

Digi Wedding Album Layout

What do you think? Do you think its too 'boxy'? How about the photos selected for the veil page and the getting ready transition page? Which version of the opening page and transition page do you prefer?

Thanks!

Re: amazing.

I like the pictures from the LOVE in color...but I think it would look nice in B/W if you wanted to change them...

for the meeting shot...I think that the first one is nice...b/c it shows the GM in the background...but I don't know why I am drawn to that one...b/c the close-ups are nice too

and the veil re do...is better...that one picture on the left was throwing it off for me...

are you doing the work for MK...or just giving him the ideas that you want...and he will do it?

I am also getting one of these albums but since I $uck at design work MK's guy is doing most of my design work, with inputs and ideas from me. So you can do it either way.

Anyone have any further suggestions for improvement? Particularily on the last page?

So far, I really love everything, especially the LOVE with the color background!
About the last page, I like the version with the smaller framed picture of you with the gm looking on. I'm assuming these pictures that you're sharing will be strectched across two pages, and if that's the case, the layout with the picture of the two of you as the background of the whole 2 pages will fall with you right in the seam of the page, so you might get a little distorted.

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

this is beautiful!

my picks:
opening page v2 (b&w LOVE)
getting ready v2
transition v2 (blends in well with more B&Ws in the collage)
meeting v1

I like V1 and V3 as an opening page. I wouldnt know which one to choose if I had to. Both are very lovely.

I like the whole set up. It all looks so pretty

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

More suggestions for improvement pls...

All the layouts

PS: I havent updated this site with a few changes to the original layouts but your comments have not been forgotten

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

How do you chose? ALL are phenominal!

How will I deal with my own layout?

Hard decision Stef!

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

I LOVE Times Square v1 and I really like Rose Petal Toss v1 but I might like to see some of the other photos small on the page someplace. Does that make sense?
LOVE the vows and other ceremony pages. These are really good Stef. You must have been working hard today on these.
As you know I am not very good at this stuff so my suggestions are not usually all that helpfu.

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

Thanks Jenn. Sometimes having too many choices is a bad thing...i think you get to see the whole book and then make changes only if you dont like something, since im doing it myself (control freak) i have too many options.

Michele: You like version 1 over 2? Do you think its too boring like that? Especially with the one right after it? The rose petal toss one is tough...the color one is not a pro photo so i cant blow it up too big without it getting grainy. I would just leave it as the big b/w one but then my entire ceremony is black and white.

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

I think it's harder to see them online they way I do. I think I would need to compare them another way.

I love it all!!! You are so creative! BTW I love the pic of the blackboard that is so cute

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

Thanks Stacey.

Jenn: What do you mean?

jennbaby Posted: Jul 19, 2003 12:42 PM

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

I sit here & scroll up & down lol, I think, if they were layed out like lets say on a table or the screen was split, It would be easier to judge, do you know what I mean?

Stef, I would need to study them, like really study, like I said they are ALL phenominal!!!

Sonicstef Posted: Jul 19, 2003 01:01 PM

Re: Help with Digital Wedding Album Layouts... (New page added)

Sorry Jenn..im totally lost. I dont understand. What is a split screen?

If you have the time to study a few, I would love to hear some feedack. I post them to get some critiques and suggestions for improvments...i wont be offended :D

Re: amazing.

just wanted to say the pics are so pretty

michele31 Posted: Jul 19, 2003 03:30 PM

Re: amazing.

I LOVE the B&W rose petal photo though. Can you add the color ones someplace on the page too?
I like v1 of Times Square and I don't think it is boring at all!
Maybe Jenn has her monitor set differently Stef so stuff is too large to fit on her screen and she cannot see the entire page.
