Print my 365 Album

March 19th, 2010
Is anyone using this more as a life journal than a photography project? I'm interested to find out if there's an option to print out each month and if not, anyone have suggestions on how to make a printable 365 project?
Thank you!!!

I'll be making it into a photo book at the end of the year.

Hi Abbey,

yes, I was looking into this as something to do when i've finished, however most of the online companies dont do 365 pages (and it'd probably cost a bit). I was thinking of doing something not quite as extravagant as Lisa but basically just have all 7 photos tiled on one page along with their captions and descriptions. Then on the opposite page i'd have a larger version of my favourite for that week...

awesome advice thank you!! lisa your layouts are amazing, a little over my head but SO fun to look at thank you!
i'm on a mac and i pretty much have 'pages' , iphoto books, and whatever else comes with my os. any suggestions on what program to use? photoshop is out (besides i'm am horrible with it, i can use like 5 tools on that program)
weng ten-i love the idea of the photos tiled with descriptions next to each one.
thanks again!!!

I'll be printing mine at Snapfish when I'm done - their photobooks are very good quality, reasonably priced, and they often have offers on for cheap books lol!

here's a link for them too...

I'm creating a word doc with text boxes and pictures - generally 5-6 days per page.

I will be creating a book at the end through Shutterfly. I have always been very happy with their products which is why I partnered with them for professional site. Great idea Weng! I think I will use that approach. =)

Hey abbEy! I am planning on doing one book for every three months. I have used MyPublisher in the past (get on the mailing list and wait for coupons!). They make books up to 100 pages, hence my one every 3 mo decision. I've found the quality to be good. If someone else has another publisher you like, let me know!

www.mypublisher.com

They frequently send out 20-50% off deals.

I concur with Autumn that Shutterfly is a quality site for storing pictures and creating books. As I took photos of more alphabet pictures than I used, and I had such fun along the way, I thought I might make a book of that project.

Lisa-your book looks awesome! I love that idea.

Hi everyone! I don't use a Mac, so are there any other programmes I can use for layout etc. I'm pretty new at this tiling thing :)

Lois Gimp can be used on Windows too... http://www.gimp.org/windows/

And thanks Ariana!!

I am doing a rather old school project. I am printing out the photos and putting them in a werememory keepers page. It has room to scrapbook also.

I always wondered why people used my full name... it felt so formal and i'm definately not a formal person... then i realised that i should just change it in my settings ;)

thanks for all your help! :)

I was hoping we could link with "blurb.com" or some other "book-type" site. I think that would be interesting.

Cheers glad to hear I'm not the only non professional photographer who's taking this as a year in my world....
March 21st, 2010
well i figure that I would print out this book and have it as part of my "coffee table" reading selection :)
March 21st, 2010
Great ideas, all. And, Lisa, your book is fabulous. Thanks for the tips.
March 21st, 2010
