Top Tips When Creating Photo Books Or Calendars
Whether this is your first Mixbook creation or an experienced Mixbooker, there are easy ways to instantly elevate your gift.
Making the gift as personalized as possible is a critical step. The design process should focus on the recipient — what will they want to look back on? To take this one step further, be sure to incorporate stickers and text. Add dates, phrases, and notes so that the details of each memory are never forgotten.
Holidays are busy, which is why you should leverage on-the-go solutions. Using an innovative mobile app, plan and create your photo book while out and about. This step will help ensure better photo organization while saving time and empowering creativity.
Choose images and moments that are timeless. Whenever your loved one looks back on their gift, you'll want it to transport them to those special memories. Focus on what matters most to them, whether it's their sports achievements, family holidays, or everyday moments that will make them laugh years later.
