Of course, there are also the photos, selected to suit the purpose of the calendar, which complete the pleasant, practical appearance of the monthly planner.

Create photo calendars - Tips

Creating a photo calendar is pretty easy, especially if you follow these tips:

Choosing the right photos

For each photo calendar you need at least 12 photos - one for each month. Our tip: Create a pool of about 20-25 photos, so you can place several photos on the pages. This will give you more variety in the layout and you can present more photos.

Edit images

The eternal theme with which one can spend hours and days. With our tip, it's much faster (full professionals please listen away): If you take the photos with a modern smartphone (e.g. iPhone or Samsung): Leave the image optimization to the Bookfactory software. In 99.9% of all cases you will get very good looking, natural images. In addition, you can use the automatic image optimization (wand) in the photo management of your smartphone. If you have photographed with a modern compact or system camera, your pictures will also look good from the camera. If in doubt, proceed as you would with a smartphone. Either upload directly and improve the images exclusively with Bookfactory Image Optimizer or have the photos automatically optimized on your computer in the image management program beforehand.

Select image section

You can trim the images in advance. However, this takes time and subsequent adjustments are difficult. Our tip: Upload all your pictures and crop them directly in the calendar. This also has the clear advantage that you can coordinate several images on one page.

Insert text

Use short texts to make the photos look even better: For example, you can use titles or sentences to describe the pictures. Simple information about the place where the photos were taken or funny quotes from the people depicted round off the calendar experience.

Events and other features

Events such as birthdays can also be printed in the Bookfactory photo calendars. In addition, there are many small design functions that you want to discover - e.g. frames for pictures or backgrounds.

Expand the design

Use your own creativity several times: The beautiful title page of your photo calendar may also be suitable for a photo card, e.g. for Christmas greetings. Or for the cover of a photo book. So you can turn one photo product into several.
