Hexagon Photos and a Brush Stroke for Celebrations
Friends hold gifts and golden balloons in a hexagon with an orange rim, with a rough black brush stroke behind it and a second hexagon at the lower left showing a birthday cake. The title CELEBRATIONS sits in navy. It suits event photographers and families who want a photo book of parties and milestones.
Hexagon Frames, Brush Stroke and Navy Line
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. A thin navy line forms an open frame. Pale grey hexagons sit in the background. The orange hexagon holds the main photo, and the smaller hexagon sits at the lower left.
Title, Subtitle and Author
202X appears in grey above CELEBRATIONS in navy capitals. The script line A Visual Story of Life’s Memorable Moments sits under a brush stroke, and A Collection of Heartwarming Event Photographs and By: Jennifer Lee follow. Replace the year, the title and the author, and replace the photos with your own.
Choosing Photos for the Cover
- A group with real joy.
- A detail shot, such as a cake or a gift.
- Good light and sharp focus.
- Faces that agreed to be shown.
- The same colour mood.
Consent for Event Photos
Ask guests before you publish photos, and follow the contract you have with the client. Be careful with images of children.
Book Printing Tips
Order a proof copy of a photo book first, since colours differ between printers. A lay flat binding shows two page spreads best.
Printing the Celebrations Cover
Print on 250 gsm silk, with a matte laminate. Check that the hexagon edges are clean.
Step by Step Editing of the Event Photography Book Design
- On the event photography book design, click the main headline and type your own words, keeping a similar length.
- Retype every name, date and contact line on the event photography book design, checking each against a trusted source.
- Search the event photography book design for the words Lorem and Company so that no placeholder remains.
- Click any logo or photo on the event photography book design, choose Replace Image and resize the new picture to fit.
- Zoom the event photography book design to full size and read each line aloud before you save it.
- Keep a clean master of the event photography book design without private details, so later versions start tidy.
Sequencing Photos in an Event Book
Tell the story of the event in order: arrival, ceremony, meal, dancing and farewell. Start each chapter with a wide shot and follow with details. Guests will recognise the flow of the day.
Choosing a Binding for Photo Books
A lay flat binding is best for double page spreads, while a softcover is cheaper for small prints. Order a proof first to check colours and trimming.
Writing Captions for Parties and Milestones
A short caption with names and the occasion, such as Aunt Rosa’s fiftieth, turns a photo into a memory. Keep captions to one line and use the same font throughout the book.
