Love abounds in February, and so do engagements. Thus starts the season of new wedding inquiries and bookings, and a great way to succeed in consultations is with a new set of custom-designed sample albums. Albums are perfect for presenting your photographic style and album options together. Couples will see your work and the product you include or hope to sell in addition to your event coverage. It’s very difficult to sell what they don’t see!
We want to spread the love with a special offer. Order a sample album design during the month of February and receive 15% off your next Graphic or Enhanced Design order. Enhanced designs are a new style we are offering and will be featured in our next post (they are the same price as a Graphic Design). All you have to do is place the word “Sample” in the “Enter Special Offer Code” window at the bottom of our Design Order & Preferences Form. If you don’t have access to the Form, please sign-up through our Contact page.
When couples see your beautiful new sample albums designed by DoodleDo, it will be love at first sight.
Known primarily for our album and book designs, we also create other graphic design works. Most are single pieces ranging from covers to cards to advertisements. When producing multiple items, having a clear, cohesive theme will boost your identity, viewer recall, and customer confidence. A simple yet good example is a recent studio sample album that developed from a print ad DoodleDo created for photographer Summer Hopkins of Summer Dawn Photography.
Summer first approached us requesting we design a new print ad for magazine placement in her local market. The result is shown below on the right. Summer then placed a new album design order and we recommended she allow us to use the same design theme from the ad to emphasize her studio branding in a new studio sample album. This particular wedding was a good choice – unique, stylish, and fun. The color, swirls and dots, used by Summer in past ads and marketing pieces, work well with the wedding images. Summer’s client receives a beautiful wedding album, and Summer gets a lovely studio sample that showcases her design tastes and branding while matching the magazine ad. It’s a very good strategy, especially this time of year when many newly engaged couples are searching for their wedding vendors.
DoodleDo specializes in design work for photographers. If you already have a well-defined brand and marketing campaign, we can create new studio sample designs that incorporate your style while showcasing your photography. If you feel your branding is lacking, needs a freshening up, or is non-existent, we would be happy to produce a unique theme for your 2010 strategy.

A successful design theme will be consistent, which can be a challenge when the layout and placement of elements are diverse. A good example is this lovely design for Orlando photographer Mike Richards. Note that none of the spreads repeat. Image position, graphic use, and placement of theme elements vary throughout. The page color certainly helps to tie it all together, but we never want the color to be predominant after the first impression. Once recognized, it should fade into the background, so to speak, as the eyes select the images page to page, quietly led by the design elements. At least this is our goal with each design!
In this design, there are several things that serve to maintain consistency: image frame size and groupings that do repeat, consistency with borders, strokes and opacity effects, the single graphic (which loosely relates to the lakeside environment), and the images themselves, of course. And with a beautiful image collection, such as these provided by Mike, design work becomes that much easier.

In 2010, do something wonderful and challenging. Take up a new hobby, learn a new skill, meet new friends. Being active and learning new things is the best way to stay young and vibrant and excited about life. And above all, give thanks to God for all you are and have and can aspire to attain.
May your 2010 be a time of renewal and growth, full of joy and inspiration, and prosperous in all the ways that matter.
We wish all our wonderful friends and dedicated clients a very Merry Christmas! DoodleDo is blessed to have so many fine photographers and artists trusting us to provide for their design needs. We appreciate you all and look forward to continuing this special relationship in 2010. We have some valuable new services and events in the works.
Peace and joy!
