I would love to make a personal photo book with my 365 photos when I am done (OK I am being optimistic here, since it is only my 2nd week, but I am), but I am not sure the best way to do it.
What are you doing with your photos? Are they on a wall, in a digital frame, on your blog, Digiscrapping pages, Facebook page?
If you did use them to make a book, what service did you use, and are you happy?
I've been thinking about printing them for a scrapbook for mooonths and just haven't gotten around to it so I probably never will. I keep them on here and Facebook and a few on Flickr. Otherwise, meh.
I will be printing them out at the end to put into a photo album. I'm waiting until the end b/c I only want to print the photos if I make it through all 365 days. For prints I use White House Custom Colour. It's also who I use for clients.
i never thought about that for some reason...but a book sounds like a great idea!
i love to make books with shutterfly...after we got our proofs back from our wedding i spent all my time making books with all the pictures (only ordered 1)...it's fun
I`m just at photo 93,so there`s a long way to go `till I`m done. So far,I`m doing nothing,just keeping them organised on my hard drive. Funny thing,at the beginning,I used to delete them right after I uploaded them here.Stupid,huh?.... I may print out the few that I like.
My photos are inspired by various pieces of literature, whether it's a book, a poem, or even song lyrics. When I finish (and I'm only posted 5 so far, lol), I would like to create a book that includes the quotations I was inspired by. Most likely it will be a scrappbook or something, since I enjoy scrapping.
I love the idea of making a album! I am using 365 to journal my year and take a snapshot of our daily lives, so this would be perfect to make into an album!
Just finished my 365th photo (Yay!!!) and have great hopes to make a photo book. Usually use Shutterfly, but snagged a Groupon ( http://www.groupon.com/) for a large coffee table at a great discount. It does seem to be a daunting task, though, when you begin to really look back at 365 photos! Would love to hear what others have with theirs.
I finished my project on Dec. 31st and have started working on a book through Blurb.com. With so many photos to work with, it's been time consuming, but I'm trying to finish a month's worth of photos every evening. I'll post a link to it when I'm finished with it. We have used them before with our kids' artwork and were pretty happy with it. I also framed a few of my better pieces, and for Christmas I printed out some of the good ones and made notecards to give away.
I'm only a week in and I hadn't given this any thought so far, but a book sounds like a great idea! Something on paper to flick through in years to come. I definitely need to put them in a separate folder otherwise it'll take ages to relocate them at the end of the year (if I get that far).
I hadn't thought about it, but now that people are mentioning it, making a photo book would be pretty awesome. Of course, now that means more work for me. Most of the images I've been editing for optimum sharpness/resolution for the low-quality size on the 365 site, but I'm going to need to go back and prepare those again for print quality.
I guess it's better to catch that a week into the project instead of 10 months in. From here on out I'll just be sure to save two copies of the final file and I'll be all set.
I am making a book with mine on blurb (www.blurb.com) I am putting 3 pics per page. I know it wont be cheap but either will be putting all 365 in a scrapbook if you think about the price of having the pics printed, the album, the paper and all the extras for each page.
I'm printing and scrapbooking them. The Album I found is prefect for what I needed. It's the Creative Memories Pic Folio album. It holds 400 photos and they can be a mix of 4x6 to 8x10 with room to journal etc.
I'm also printing a blurb book of them from either my FB account or my Flickr as to include all my descriptions etc.
I plan to make a book with mine also. I have used blurb for my professional work and was VERY pleased with them! Also, have used shutterfly and they aren't bad either. It's really all a matter of preference..Cost? Quality? etc.
@snapaholic007 thanks for the album info. That is great.
I had good luck with shutterfly in the past, but I missed the look you get when you print on photo paper.
Has anyone tried Persnickety Prints?
I like the idea of doing a scrapbook page per week or month. A lot less pressure. I am definitely going to look into Blurb. Right now I digiscrap using PSE in 8x8 format on my HP printer.
I have a Pogo printer that prints 1 x 2 inch (or so) pics. So, after I upload my daily photo, I print out a copy on the Pogo. I have an extra small Moleskine yearly planner. I stick each picture on its day (the Pogo photos have a sticky backing and fit perfectly). That way I have a digital copy of my pics and a physical copy. Lots of fun!
I use Shutterfly for photobooks . . . I've done about 15 or so and they're very good quality. One tip, they automatically enhance photos . . . which sometimes makes for too vivid a result if you've already done your own processing. You can "uncheck" that option, to keep the reproduction true. I'll likely turn mine into a book on Shutterfly . . . I do have a Canon photo printer, but I don't print out all my pics . . .
A book of some format. I gave a photo album of travel photos to a family member for Christmas and realized how cool it is to flip through them, remembering each place. I'm planning to do one for my http://30daysoftravel.com travel blog, and this project. But one day at a time, thinking about 365 of these pictures is a little overwhelming.

I'd like to do a book - I've used Shutterfly & Snapfish. I did not care for Snapfishes work - Loved Shutterfly though
But for everyone planning to make a book, that sounds like a great idea!
I used blurb last month and the book turned out nice. Any other book printers fellow 365ers recommend?
