It´s a known fact the Photo Albums has been the gift of the century: fromtraditional to custom made photo albums. That´s because it is the safest giftoption available. You just cannot go wrong when you give photo album as a gift.People often has abundance of photos, therefore there is always a need for photoalbums.

Though an excellent and practical gift option, the enthusiasm for photo albumgifts diminished. But this can be easily countered with a unique customphoto album gift.

You probably are afraid to tackle the challenge of designing a unique customphoto album gift. Many believe that they are not creative enough or just don´tknow where to start. Therefore, I established four basic steps in designing aunique custom made photo album as gift.

Step 1: Establish a Theme. A themefor your photo album will help you immensely in creating a unique customphoto album design. The most popular theme for custom madephoto album is Wedding, Sweet Sixteen, Debut, orQuinceniera.

When you combine custom made photo album concept with milestone events, thephoto album gift is not only unique but very practical. Therecipient of the custom photo album could group all of her orhis photo into one photo album that matched the occasion.

Step 2: Establish Gift Recipient Profile. If you are designing this photo album for yourself, you can skip this step.This step is very important if you are designing custom made photoalbum as a gift. One of the major problems when designing a photo albumgift is that people forget that they are designing it for someone else.

This is just a precaution to ensure that your photo album design reflects thesense of style of the gift recipient, making the photo album gift unique tohis/her personality. Profile information could be as simple as their age,favorite color, or style.

Step 3: Select Your Color. Colorcombinations play a key role in designing a unique custom made photo albumdesign. If the photo album gift is relevant to a party (e.g. Sweet Sixteen,Wedding, etc.), then you can use the motive color of the party. Otherwise,select the recipient´s favorite color.

Color combinations could make your photo album unique. Afterall, how many photo albums have you seen that has different color combinations?If you wish to use color combination for a unique photo album design, colorwheel makes a great reference. Here are the basic color combinations you can usefor your custom photo album design.

  • Mono-chromatic color scheme use a combination of colors with differenttones, tints, and shades from one color (e.g. blue, dark blue, light blue). Thiscolor scheme creates harmony and is perfect for conservative custom made photoalbum design.
  • Complimentary color scheme is a combination of colors opposite of each otherin the color wheel (e.g. purple and yellow). These two colors has strong clash,creating a funky combination. Perfect for absolutely unique photo albumdesign.
  • Analogous color scheme is a combination of adjacent colors in the colorwheel (e.g. yellow and yellow-green; blue and blue-green). Analogous colorscheme creates a warm look which is great for conservative custom made photoalbum design.
  • Triadic color scheme uses three colors that are of the same distance fromeach other such as red-yellow-blue. I suggest you use this for a funkier customphoto album design.

Step 4: Brainstorm A Unique Photo Album Design. Nowthat you have a theme, profile, and color scheme, you are ready to create aunique design for your custom made photo album. Basing your photo album designon the profile from Step 2 would make your custom made photo album giftabsolutely priceless and unique to the recipient. This step is important sinceit forces you to narrow down your design ideas into one unique custom made photoalbum gift.
