Blurb.com

I have been playing around with Blurb.com this morning. It is a program I have used in the past, but not for a long while so it took some time to remember some of the processes. 


The first step is to choose the size book that you want. I went for a 13x11inch landscape book, this I felt would show the images in there best format; as most are composed in the landscape format and music images look best nice and big. 


Obviously the best option here was to go for the Photo Book option.


I actually chose tho add the images as I edited the book as opposed to straight away, this was becouse  I already had them laid out in Bridge in the correct order I required (I am referring to the images that I have ready, I am still waiting on some others).


 I wished to have as much creative control as possible so I opted for the 'No' option here.


I truly felt that the Darkroom option was best to display the images, it others the feeling of being in the dark music club with the Photographer placing the viewer right there in the action. Images also always look better surrounded by a darker colour. 


I am now ready to start editing my book.
