Source: travelpod.com Rugby World Cup fever is gripping New Zealand at the moment, which ties in nicely with my topic (sort of). Twenty teams are here to be beaten by the mighty All Blacks. (Go you good things!) OK, all the teams want to win, but only one can. Whereas our goal is to deliver the best possible books and albums, so everyone wins. How's that for cheesy? But we mean it! We have had an influx of press book orders over the last few months and nearly everybody has been over the moon about them. However not everyone has had the same warm fuzzy feeling. Why? Often it's the nature of the product itself. Press books are books. Not albums. When you design them you need to remember they're three dimensional. Like all perfect bound books and magazines, the pages curve in to the centre, and Photojunction doesn't show this very well. I raised this with our developers and the design team. The dev team have increased the photo safe guides to 10mm from the spine. The designers say that's helpful, but you can't depend on it to keep you out of trouble. They've written a post of their own about this. But back to the rugby analogy. Press books are great in that they enable you to design with lots more pages and images, but maybe in your case you need to field a different team. If you love the look, touch and feel of our art papers, but want a lay-flat product, check out our press albums. Good luck to the boys in Black, and to the other teams and their fans coming down under. I've hidden the remote from my wife and it's time to sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Cheers Pete
