Sam Hassas Offline Image Upload: On Our Wedding Album Layouts It's good design and very hip with the times however I'm not confident it will be timeless. Less is more really works when designing an album. Looks like you have great PS skills, I'd just tone it down. ~Sam Mar 27, 2008 at 11:57 PM

Dawei Ye Online Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts These look really pro! The only thing I don't like is the lines going through the faces on 1 and 3. Mar 28, 2008 at 12:01 AM

Lord Fluff Online Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts Beautifully done. However they do look like a brochure more than an album (to me) - there's not much sense of the actual day or people coming through - I just see the layouts as a whole. A lot of the design elements seem quite random too - especially in number 3. Mar 28, 2008 at 01:37 AM

sboerup Offline Buy and Sell: On Our Wedding Album Layouts I'd 2nd the 'brochure' look. You have beautiful design capabilities, but to me it seems more about the design than the day to remember. Mar 28, 2008 at 06:28 AM

herby Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts these are great.. Mar 28, 2008 at 08:48 AM

tsmith00 Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts One thing that I learned at WPPI during the album competition was that the judges frowned on text on every page in one album. I know these are just a few of your samples, but I'd keep from putting text on every page. But hey I think they look great....besides what do I know?....lol Mar 28, 2008 at 10:25 AM

Cathy Yount Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts +1 on the busyness of the album design +1 on "you have mad Photoshop skills" We can argue both, but there has to be a balance. While you have incredible design ingenuity and PS skills, you have to remember one key element: Photoshop layouts and designs should be there to enhance the image, not override them with an overwhelming presence. You need to let the pictures tell the story, not let the design distract attention from them. Incredible design skills...Absolutely beautiful, very clean...just strike a balance.

kierontan Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts Thank you very much for your suggestions, will try to improve next time. All your ideas and tips are very helpful. Mar 28, 2008 at 01:50 PM

Todd Ramsey Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts I really like your album design. This is very much like my style. If your brides like it, that's what matters. My only suggestions are on the first one, I don't like the tranparent blocks and the right page of number 3 seems a little busy. Otherwise, it looks terrific to me. Todd Mar 28, 2008 at 03:11 PM

Vance Zachary Offline Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts I really like the layout. For competition these days, this style of layout scores vary well. As far as brides go, it won't be every brides cup of tea but those brides who like this style will seek you out just because of it My only concern with this style is that the large number of graphic elements on the spread can sometimes overwhelm your visual statement and make for a busy photo; sometimes less is better too much to read and too many added in graphic flowers and lines can create confusion for the viewer; find a balance is what is crucial to making this style work Thanks for sharing your beautiful work! Good Luck! Mar 28, 2008 at 04:51 PM

drew.bowser Offline Image Upload: On Our Wedding Album Layouts its too much. Remember that people are wanting albums to look at pictures...not cool design. I love your photoshopping, but i think that it has to be something that the bride requests because it does look like a brochure. Im not knocking you, I actually think it looks great! But just remember the main reason for even designing the album. Mar 28, 2008 at 05:23 PM

drew.bowser Offline Image Upload: On Our Wedding Album Layouts Oh and, I absolutely LOVE page number 2 Mar 28, 2008 at 05:25 PM

andrew81 Offline Image Upload: On Our Wedding Album Layouts Impressive! Mar 29, 2008 at 10:26 AM

Mike Mahoney Online Image Upload: Off Our Wedding Album Layouts I thought the 2nd spread was one of the best I'd ever seen .. and much the same for the 5th spread. A perfect blend of design. But the rest of the pages are a little busy for my (North American) taste .. I do realize that Asian taste in photography and design are different from ours. I'm sure your brides love the albums. You have some awesome design skills. Can I ask how you did the flowers, etc? .. seems to be a PS brush? Mar 29, 2008 at 11:21 AM
