Photo Montage

Available on – Boutique Books, Portrait Books, Invogue Albums, Gallery Albums, 

A Photo Montage album cover has an image "wrapped” around the front cover of the album, whilst the album spine and back cover is covered in the material of your choice. The Photo Montage image is laminated with a protective coating before being mounted onto the album. You will need to use our Photo Montage Photoshop template to create your front cover. This template can be found on the album webpage under the "TEMPLATES" tab or on our Downloads webpage.

FILE SET UP USING PHOTOSHOP

STEP 1 - Download our Photo Montage Photoshop templates and open the template you intend to use.  When you open the template it will display the front cover of the album, and the shaded Wrap Areas around the outside of your template show the part of the cover that will be wrapped (folded over or turned in) during the manufacturing process.  This area will not appear on the front cover of your album when it is closed but you will see this when the album is opened around the cover edge.

STEP 2 - You are now ready to start designing!  Please remember that you need to fill the ENTIRE space with your image.  You must ensure you DO NOT finish your image on the edge of the wrap area/guideline - your image must go to the outside edge of the template.  You can include your client's names and dates or other design elements.

Do not use text or other design elements close to the guidelines and expect them to line up exactly with the edge of the cover.  The mounting process is not exact and you MUST allow space for the image to shift when mounting.

STEP 3 - Your completed design should be colour corrected and ready to print.  When you have finished save your file as a PSD (for your own records and in case you need to make further changes), as well as a JPEG.  The JPEG file is what you will need to upload to us when you place your album order.
