Memory Link & RE

A little while back I posted about the lesser known album company that I use, Memory Link. Here are the albums and the layouts that I had posted. I recently got an e-mail from them:

“Hello Richard, How are you doing today? I wanted to ask you that because your images and designs are so awesome the owner wanted to know if we could use your images in our Memory Link show samples and of course we will add your studio name in each show album produced. We would greatly be honored if we could but it is up to you so please let me know if it is okay.”

How awesome is this?!?!? I talked to them over the phone to see if they would have any of my albums at WPPI in a little more than a week, but probably not. They need some time to print new books. We’ll see! I’ll look for them while I’m there.

Of course I can’t take all the credit. Some of my albums this year were either fully done or partially done by my friend Krystal at Krystyle Designs. Kudos to you too Krystal!

Please check them both out!

Album Layouts

A few posts back I posted what the exterior of my albums look like. Now it’s time for the layouts on the inside. This past year we had the most amount of albums my album designer, who’s also a personal friend, and I have had to design. In fact, we are down to our last few. I was recently talking to a videographer friend of mine about how long it takes to design an album. Usually from choosing the images to final design it’s anywhere from 5-10 hours, depending on the size of the album. I know for my albums they tend to take about 8 hours of design time… I’m picky about how they turn out and put a lot of thought into them. I really have no reason why I haven’t l blogged about them, so here they are!

Also, I made commenting on my blog a little easier… feel free to leave one!

Acrylic Cover

Here is a close up of the acrylic.

Another acrylic with a different design.

Yet another acrylic with another different design

It’s a good thick piece of really scratch resistent clear acrylic.

Here’s the black leather with a custom sized cutout and the clients names and date imprinted into the leather.

Here’s a close up of the binding. It’s just a bump across the seam.

The new presentation box is a good sturdy black leather-like box with stitching.

The stitching around the box.

The closure.

The inside is lined with a velvet like material.
