Please help me with blurb service

[Georgiy Romanov]

I'm in the process of creating a new photobook and I want use blurb service for preview and print. Unfortunatly i don't have an expirience in this field and i hope you can help me.

Which type of paper would be better for my style of photography? I love grainy, high contrast and with a lot of deep blacks images. Blurb's internal programm for creating layout good enough? I like put photographs on full spread without any borders.

If you can show me an examples of your books from blurb it would be great! Thanks.

Georgiy.

Your questions are really a matter of personal choice.

Blurb has many examples of their photo books on their website - you can browse them for idea.

Slightly different.

I tried to put the photos into a context so included text.
The first few pages try to emulate a professional approach that you will find in quality photo books. You could put this book on a store shelf along with other books - I think.

I am tempted to create a photo book with 60 pages for my photos of my daughters.

Georgyi- At least in the US, Blurb offers a very economical paper sampler pack. The cost of the paper sampler is deducted from your next order.
