full spread album design....

[thebeginning]

do you guys use photoshop to design your wedding albums, or something else? i'm currently using photoshop and it seems like there has GOT to be a faster way to do this...or i'm just slow. :)

I use either InDesign or page by page w/Illustrator

Interesting choice. I used to use InDesign with PS and occasionally with Illustrator myself. Indesign is definitely cool and very powerful, but the learning curve was a bit much for me starting out. Now I just use PS for almost everything.

I custom design each and every page using a combination of Photoshop and/or Illustrator.
Usually takes me about 15-20 minutes per page.
There are some Drag & Drop Album Design Softwares or Templates on the Market, but they are very monotonous IMHO.....

I would learn PS and build your own, by having custom design pages, you are able to sell your style which should be unique from any one elses. If a client hires you for your style of photography, I feel that you should carry that into your Album Design.

We also do all the designing in CS2. It really does start to go pretty fast once you're comfortable with it...
