Folio 12×12 inch Fine Art Album | Lucy and Marcus at The Mere

The Fine Art album works best, in my opinion, when things are kept clean and simple.  The distinguishing features of this type of book are the clean lines and slim profile that make it so different to the traditional style matted album.  So, here’s another design for a Folio wedding album, showing the clean, simple layout that I prefer.  Throughout, I try to employ symmetry and repetition, making spreads similar in appearance where possible, to add a sense of continuity and to tie the album together.

This design is a little different, in that it contains so many upright images.  Normally the ratio of portrait to landscape shots is more balanced, but here there are many more uprights than normal.  When I’m designing I try not to crop too much into images (although some cropping is obviously necessary), but make the layouts work with the images I’ve been given, and their orientation.

The pale colours of the wedding (flowers, bridesmaids’ dresses and venue decor) was reflected in the choice of an ivory leather cover, with the couple’s names engraved in.  A simple, clean finish to a clean design.
