Personal preference and the nature of the project dictate the method you use to make your book. The Smart Assistant may help you design your book or you can start from scratch.

Creating a photo book doesn’t have to be a time-consuming and tiresome undertaking – this introductory blog will teach you about the easy options we offer at Printerpix for any skill level and every occasion. Whether you want to start from the beginning with Create yourself, have our Smart Assistant create a book for you, or use a gorgeous pre-designed book, we’ve made it simple. To help you get the most out of each method of creation, we’ve put up a short series of three follow-up articles that will walk you through each of our three simple methods of creation in detail.

We invited Melaine, a planner with only a few photo books in her portfolio, to try them all out to demonstrate our three simple methods with real-life examples. Take a peek for yourself – how would you design your next project?

Make yourself – for your own passion projects.

With all the tools you need at your disposal, producing a book from scratch is a lot of fun. Create the book of your dreams from start to finish. Mélodie recognized the opportunity to produce the family book she’d been longing to make when she decided to give Create yourself a try. A book that chronicles her family’s most cherished moments since the birth of her daughter, Juliette, four years ago. To begin, she sifted through the archives, gathering her personal recollections from various sources, and then allowing herself the freedom to create her book as she saw fit. The outcome is a highly personal book that celebrates her small family in every way possible.

There are a lot of questions about how to get started, what size photo book to choose, and what creative possibilities are available when creating your own photo book. What is “Create Yourself,” and how can you use it to your advantage?  Find out in this article.

With too many photos and not enough time, you need a smart assistant like this.

Using Smart Assistant is the best option if you’re short on time and have a large number of photographs that aren’t even pre-selected. When you’re ready to start creating your book, you may start with a neatly organized collection of images that have already been cleaned up and double-checked for duplicates. Adding photographs, text, and clip art where you see appropriate is all that’s required to customize your pre-filled book. Mélodie set a time limit of one hour for herself to create a Holiday book for her family using Smart Assistant. That’s how she did it: she gathered all of her 2021 vacation photographs and dropped them in. With a pre-filled book, she removed some photos she didn’t like and added additional photos and text to complete the book. Who would have imagined it would be so simple to transform hundreds of images into a stunning book?

In order to get high-quality results, pre-design is necessary

Simply select one of our 230 beautiful pre-designs from our wide variety of themes and styles, and your book will look like it was designed by a professional. Drag and drop your favourite images into the various layouts to get started. Of course, you’re free to make changes to the design at any time. For her daughter Juliette’s fourth birthday, Mélodie tried ‘Pre-design’ and developed a wonderful book. Her theme was “Watercolor animals,” and she included all of her daughter’s most memorable moments, from the time she was born until she was just a few years old. It’s adorable, Mélodie!
