How To Make Travel Photo Album Unique

By Kerri Stout


One accessory that you never leave behind when you are going out or travelling is your camera to take photos. A travel photo album is necessary to keep those memorable occasions with you in an organized manner. Making a terrific photo album can be as simple as counting one to ten.

How to choose the perfect album cover. There is a proverb that says that do not judge a book by its cover, this is totally different in photos.The cover of the album will totally say a lot of what is inside. If you head for a trip to the Paris, you may want to buy a cover there that has French landmark prints, this will make a person know almost immediately without looking that there are amazing photos from an equally amazing place and certainly will want to look at them. If you have Egyptian photos, a cover from Egypt will fit well or better yet some pyramids or some of the ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Be choosy on what to put in the album. Unless you have albums that can hold the several hundred if not thousand photos you took, you need to choose which to go in to the collection. They all can be great shots but you have to get choosy here. Pick only what you think deserves to be in it. If this is not working let a friend can choose for you but expect some disappointments since they only choose what they think is best for them and not you.

Write captions carefully. A picture speaks for itself but a caption adds to the message. Writing a caption on the photo and later you want to change can mess up the whole photo forcing you to print it again. A pre-written caption can save you this. Think of it carefully and note it down making corrections until you are sure you have got the exacting wording you want. Then write it using free hand for that craftiness and originality.

Choosing the order of arranging your photos. You are open to any way arrangement of your album. Neglect the many "rules" that want you to arrange them in a chronological order, put the best of best at the top. As you open, see the sweet memories first.

There is nothing that gives you more fun than the creation of your hands. Don't be lazy by using digital albums which everyone else is having. Making it for yourself you have the opportunity to design it the way you want, do modifications on it and even adding some pieces of art on it, maybe a drawing on the cover.

Take your time, because you should not be in a hurry to make it. Take your time and be patient. You can sweat and curse when you are making it but at a later date when you look at it and you are amazed at how good it looks you will laugh at the curses you said.

These are only a few of the tips of your incredible travel photo collection. Just use the next time on your album and be thoroughly amazed when it is done. Be more creative and add twists here and there to these tips.
