Admit it, we are all guilty of scrolling through vacation pictures or uploading snaps on social media to reminisce long after the holiday has ended. But what if we told you that there was another way to walk down memory lane? A coffee table book. Yes, it could serve as a visual journey of your trips around the world. Sounds like a plan? Let’s take a look at how you can go about turning your memories into a coffee table book.
1. Pick A Theme
First off, decide what you want to document; it could be a well-deserved break from work with friends and family, a solo trip or a vacation to bring in your birthday/anniversary. Establishing a theme will ensure that a story runs through the pages.
2. Make A Digital Draft
It’s a good idea to make a draft of the book online. Not only will it help you get a closer look at the final outcome, you can make all the necessary changes before you go into print.
3. Creative Captions
A picture may speak a thousand words, but your thoughts will only add to the nostalgia. Add anecdotes or a special memory to get started.
4. Make Pictures Pop
Wherever necessary, use editing apps and play around with contrast levels to enhance the quality of the pictures. A beautiful composition truly adds value to the coffee table book, aesthetically. Be mindful of using only high-resolution images, so that they are not distorted after editing.
5. Space Out Images
Keep a limit of three images on a page (approximate size of a coffee table book is 11x11), and space them out. Arranging photos tidily enhances the visual experience. It also helps to stick to a colour scheme while placing the images (for example, blue-toned images, or complementary colours).
