Pick the Best iPhoto Book Themes for Your Pics
Wondering which iPhoto book themes will work for you? Keep these important points in mind!
Organizing your photos can be a lot of fun, and iPhoto book themes give you plenty of interesting ways to arrange and share those precious memories.
Themes are brilliant ways to create quick, easy albums with a professional look. However, if you're new to iPhoto, or if you've never created a book before, the themes can appear overwhelming. While you try to pick the perfect layout for your album, here are two essential tips to keep in mind!
1. What type of photos are you showcasing?
The most important part of deciding a theme comes before you ever click the mouse! IPhoto has many different themes. Sometimes the choice is obvious -- for example, the "travel" theme obviously fits in well with vacation photos! However, if you're working with a type of picture not explicitly described in iPhoto, you'll want to check out the different layouts before you get started.
Choosing iPhoto book themes really depends on how formal you want to be. Are you making a wedding album as a gift, a book to showcase your nature photography, or a casual, fun album for a friend? Watercolors, for example, is a classy, pretty theme that lends itself well to artistic or classic photographs. Travel and Crayon, on the other hand, are both fun, informal ways to display your photos.
2. Does the theme have borders?
One of the problems with iPhoto book themes is the lack of borders. Several themes don't have borders, and this can become a problem when your pictures extend right into the book's spine. In other words, when a picture reaches right to the end of the page, you might lose the edge of it in the center of the book. For that reason, it's usually best to pick layouts with borders built in. Otherwise, be very careful that the photographs next to the spine are photos that can afford to have the edge cropped.
Themes without borders include: Picture Book, Modern Lines, Contemporary, Baby Boy, and Baby Girl. Some of these themes are a lot of fun, so feel free to use them -- just make sure you're careful, or you might find yourself disappointed with your book when you get it!
Making books with iPhoto is a lot of fun, and it's a great way to share your favorite photos. There are many wonderful books to choose from. Just keep these simple tips in mind while working with iPhoto book themes and I believe you'll be thrilled with your book!
