CLASSIC ALBUM's Designer Series provides professional photographers with the opportunity to choose exactly what they want to do themselves...and what they want done for them. Regardless of the option selected, the end result will be one of the world's finest handcrafted digital albums.

Option 1. Design, Print & Bind:
We'll Do It All! Send your images on a CD and our graphic designers will create a unique, cutting edge layout in approximately 10 days. It will be e-mailed to you for review and possible revisions. Once approved, prints (Kodak or Fuji) will be ordered. Upon receipt, prints will be carefully inspected and a custom leather bound Designer Coffee Table Album/Book will be created in any size up to 10x15 or 12x12 square.

Option 2. Print & Bind:
For photographers who want total control over the design process, CLASSIC offers a fast and cost effective solution. Once a digital layout/design has been created, send us your CD and we'll take it from there! Kodak or Fuji prints will be printed by a top Professional Lab (within a week) and a custom leather bound Designer Coffee Table Album/Book will be hand-crafted within a month. You can choose any size up to 10x15 or 12x12 square. Your unique Designer Series Album can be bound vertically or horizontally.

Option 3. Bind Only:
This is for studios and photographers who prefer to handle design and printing themselves.This will provide you with total control of every aspect from shooting the event to outputting images. Simply send in your finished prints numbered on the back with a soft lead pencil (Prisma Color Art Pencil is best) with an order form indicating all of the cover information and any other options desired. When sending in panoramas, please make sure to number each side (right and left) of the panoramas separately. CLASSIC will handcraft a magnificent hingeless flush Designer Album/Book in approximately 3 weeks. Prints are coated with a water based finish and permanently mounted side by side with a slight separation in the center. There is no charge for panoramas since the entire book is produced in that format. This one of a kind masterpiece will be cherished forever!

Digital File Requirements:

• File type required : JPG
• Minimum image resolution: 2,272 x 1,704 pixels (equivalent to 3.9 megapixels) or 1.5 megabytes in size (opens up in Photoshop to approximately 17 megabytes)
• All files MUST be color corrected prior to submitting.
• Retouching and/or spotting MUST be done by the studio/photographer.
• Images must be in the correct sequence on the cd.
• We recommend that you place images within folders according to the segment of the event (house, ceromony, reception, cake cutting, etc.). This will help the designer better understand the flow of the event and create spreads based on the groupings provided. This is especially helpful when designing ethnic weddings with which the designer may not be familiar.

Please provide as much input with regard to preferences as possible. If you or your customer want more b&w images or background fades, please indicate this on an accompanying note. If you would like certain images grouped on the same spread please let us know. We will try to accommodate your requests as much as possible.

Until now, the high cost and lengthy production process of Custom Designed Albums and Books from Europe, Australia and the U.S. have made these "Coffee Table" presentations the exclusive domain of "High-End" packages. Although many brides prefer the look of this more contemporary and photojournalistic style, the high costs have kept them away from ordering it...and from possibly booking your studio.

CLASSIC's "Designer Series" has changed all of that! Now, these incredible One-of-a-Kind custom designed and handcrafted masterpieces, can be within the reach and budget of most clients. You can now use the Designer Series to upgrade the finished product you provide....while increasing your profits dramatically. If you are still buying assembly albums and loading traditional prints, Please STOP! If you are still offering the same albums as you have for years, Please RECONSIDER!

If you are not booking as many jobs as you would like, let us help! The "Designer Series" can lower your cost, save you time and help you book more jobs at higher margins.
