Do judge a book by its cover
To give your photo book a personal touch, the cover photo is an important part. Profotonet also offers 10 different cover collections with as many as 80 colors and countless cover materials. But how do you choose the perfect cover for your photo book? Here are five practical photo book tips!

1. Choose a cover photo or go for a classic cover
Do you want a cover photo on your photo book or would you prefer a deluxe cover with no image? Both options have their charm. A cover photo makes your book extra personal and immediately attracts attention. You can choose a photo cover on real photo paper, print on linen or an eye-catching Plexiglas cover. Plexiglas makes colors stand out even better and adds depth to your image. Want fewer reflections and reverberations? Then go for anti-reflective Plexiglas with a matte finish.

2. Determine the ideal photo cover material
The choice of material plays a big role in the look of your photo book. Do you go for a natural linen look, such as the Pure Collection, or do you opt for a robust leather look? Choosing the material that suits your style first makes it easier to select an appropriate color.

3. Match your photo book cover with your interior design
A photo book doesn’t have to disappear in a closet. Turn it into a stylish eye-catcher! Match the cover color to your interior and put your book in a prominent place, such as a coffee table or bookshelf. A Plexiglas cover photo can be a real eye-catcher here. This way, your photo book becomes not only a keepsake, but also a decorative element.

4. Let the cover match the mood of your photos
When choosing a cover color, it helps to look at the colors in your photo book. An autumn shoot in the woods? The warm brown tones from the Royal Collection are a perfect match. A summer vacation? Choose the vibrant colors from the Tropical Collection. For special occasions such as weddings or anniversaries, the Sparkle Collection with glitter gives a festive effect.

5. Let customers choose (for photographers)
As a photographer, do you offer photo books to your clients? Then you can give them the option of selecting their own cover color. This creates extra involvement and makes the photo book even more personal. By combining your expertise with the customer’s preferences, you create an ideal photo book that they can enjoy for years to come.
