I think it adds something interesting to the cover! I’m sure once it’s time to do Bali’s book I’ll just leave the photo by itself. The first one says Japan (since it was our first trip and we did 3 cities), second one Taiwan, third Sapporo, and fourth Nagano. Because of this all of my book spines are a little different… which drives me nuts!!Īlso, get creative while making your first book, especially if you’re planning on making it a series! Since we were living in Asia I decided to add a big Kanji character on the top right corner of every book cover. It took me 3 books to realize this, so learn from my mistake. Especially if you use Lightroom because you have to start from scratch each time. I’m talking font name, size, and specifics for each section of your book. Jot down all the book details before you start your second book, this way they all look the same. While working on your first book write down all the specifics * I personally have gone with the Standard Portrait, Hardcover with ImageWrap and Premium Matte paper. The Blurb website recommends the Premium Lustre. Lastly, there are 6 different options of papers, Standard, Premium Lustre, Premium Matte, Proline Uncoated, Proline Pearl Photo, and Standard Layflat. The Blurb website recommends the dust jacket. There is softcover, hardcover with ImageWrap and hardcover with a glossy dust jacket. Next up you have to decide on a cover style. It all depends on your style, but I’d suggest picking one and running with it so that they all look the same. There are 5 size options for photo books, Small Square (7″x7″), Standard Portrait (8″x10″), Standard Landscape (10″x8″), Large Square (12″x12″) and Large Landscape (13″x11″). The downside to this tool is that there are a limited amount of templates and you can’t really customize a lot, but I make it work!ĭecide what size, cover, and paper you’ll be going with *I personally use Lightroom Classic tool, because I already pay for it and it’s where all of my photos are.

Blurb Mobile App – create square books (5″×5″ or 7″×7″), choose from 3-page layouts and add small captions.

I’m currently 5 books in… 4 in hand and 1 I’m currently finishing up, so I’ve learned a few things along the way that I’d love to pass along.ĭecide what platform you will use to create your Blurb bookīlurb has a few tools to help you bring your book ideas to life. Like Simone, I’m constantly sharing on Instagram stories how much I love Blurb and have gotten so many questions so I decided to write down all of my tips. Next, I’m hoping to print, frame and display some in our home!!

She’s also the one that introduced me to Blurb! Although I’ve blogged about most of our trips so far I wanted a way to have the photos in my hands, so travel books were definitely the way to go. After one of my favorite photographers on Instagram Simone shared on her stories how she puts together gorgeous travel books after every trip I decided I needed to look into it.
