Decorative and informative: A personalised coffee table book
Creating a photo book
Designing a CEWE PHOTOBOOK as a personalised coffee table book is a creative way to illustrate your hobby as well as capture special memories and the beauty of nature. A coffee table book is the perfect place for special memories with a common theme, for example impressive landscape photos from your travels to faraway countries, architectural details from your city trip to Amsterdam or macro photos of autumn flowers in your own garden. A favourite hobby could also be the focus of your book.
The bigger the better
To show your photos to full effect in a personalised coffee table book, it’s a good idea to select large formats, for example the CEWE PHOTOBOOK XL or the CEWE PHOTOBOOK XXL Landscape. The cover of a coffee table book plays a very important role, because an expressive photo on the cover catches the attention and invites the viewer to browse through the pages. With the pre-designed templates from CEWE, it’s very easy to incorporate your motif into a professional layout which can be customised as required. Highlights in gold, silver, rose gold or gloss add an elegant final touch to your cover.
Tip: The CEWE PHOTOBOOK XL can be fitted with a personalised, made-to-measure slipcase in matte laminated cardboard- a stylish case to hold your treasured memories.
Focus on photos
The best moments from your latest trips or impressions from your own garden – with coffee table books, the focus is always on expressive photography. Text should play a secondary role, and you should select an unobtrusive font. That’s why we recommend a layout with large-scale photos. A photo which is rich in detail, for example a view of a meadow full of flowers or a Turkish bazaar, can be positioned across two pages. And if you leave a little space at the edges, you can create a decorative border around your photo. An appropriate title rounds off your work and arouses curiosity.
Tip: To present photos across two full pages, photographic paper is your best choice - the so-
called Layflat Binding used here ensures that large-format pictures are shown to particularly good effect.
Eye-catcher coffee table book
There are various ways to display a coffee table book: Placed on the coffee table, it invites people to browse through it. Several coffee table books can be stacked neatly in order of size, from large to small, or layered artfully. Another perfect place to display photo books is on a specially designed photo strip, where they are an eye-catcher in every living room.
