15×11 Wedding Album Layout
We like to design the album with you OR you can just tell us the images you want to use and we’ll put it together. Most people (60%) want to have more of a say in their album than just picking the images that go in it. We offer several album styles in a wide range of sizes: this info is targeted toward our “15×11 Album”.
Most people want to decide: 1. the order the portraits will be in the album; 2. the size each portraits will be; 3. the “Template” they want for each page; and 4. the location of each photo on the template. This is easy with our “Templates” (some are shown below), “Page Layouts” (8.5 x 11 pages that we tape thumbnails to and write special instructions on) and “Thumbnails” (small images of your portrait).

Below are 12 sample templates; 6 show 2 images/page and 6 show 4 images/page. A “Template” shows the relative size and location of each image on an album page. We have 134 different ones to choose from AND we can also CUSTOM DESIGN a page for you in a very creative style.
Each template has 2 images; the white boxes on top of the grey indicates one image is above the other
Template 4-4 has 4 vertical images; 4-8 has 3 horizontal and 1 vertical. The grey area is the proportional size of the image.
"Page Layouts" are 8.5x11 inches. You just tape your thumbnail image onto the page in the relative position you want it to appear. The 12 squares represent the most images you can have per page, although most pages have from 1-4 images.
Creating a 15 x 11.5 ‘Published Album’
HOW DO YOU START:
1. You (or you and New Dimensions) decide what photo(s) we want on page 1;
2. Write the “Template Number” on the “Page Layout” called “Page 1″;
3. Tape the “thumbnail(s)” into position we want to see them on that page.
4. REPEAT the process for Pages 2 – ??? (to the end).
RETOUCHING IS IN ADDITION TO THE PRICE OF THE ALBUM Not all images will need retouching – it depends on several factors. For example, if you are having a full page image (14×11) close up of an older person’s face that has ‘eye bags’, wrinkles, hair out of place, clothing with lint on it, etc. chances are you will want to have it retouched. Retouching an image like this would be about $12. Any ‘regular’ portraits you ordered from that image would also be retouched.
