Photo Books: Made For You

Computer software, Computers, Technology | August 28th, 2008 2 Comments

A great way to remember the magical moments in life is to immortalize them on the pages of your very own photo book. We’d like to share with you two great options for liberating your fave digital pics from your computer desktop once and for all!

1. Apple iPhoto Book – if you, like us, are a happy Mac user, you either already know about this option, or you’re going to be so excited to find out about it! You can make a photo book directly through iPhoto. Here’s what we love about it:

    iPhoto Book

  • The iPhoto interface is easy to use (even more so considering iPhoto is already our friend)
  • There are a variety of “themes” to choose from (we like the “Simple Border” theme pictured here)
  • iPhoto offers you a choice of binding styles (hard cover, soft cover and spiral bound)
  • Albums are reasonably priced, too! (8.5″ x 11″ hardcover, 20 pages, $29.99)
  • And last but not least, the pocket sized option – biz card sized and just as easy to whip out and show off.

More of our favorites after the jump…

  • for the hardcover option, you get a “…suede-like cover with a foil-printed title on the cover and a customizable dust jacket”. Ooo classy.
  • the mini book option – biz card sized and just as easy to swipe out and show off.

2. Lulu – this is a great choice no matter what type of computer you use. Just like iPhoto, Lulu is easy to navigate and operate, offers a selection of themes and binding styles, and is actually even a little more affordable (8.5″ x 11″ hardcover, 20 pages, $25.95)

Lulu BookWe especially like:

  • That we could link up with and download our pics from Flickr
  • It was surprisingly quick and easy to get the fun part of “designing” (i.e. arranging the pics in) our book.

Any recommendations for other photo books? Leave a comment and let us know!
