Photo Book Hardcover 30x30

Printing a 30x30 hardback photo book

With hardback photo book printing, the vast choice of book formats multiplies the amount of creative possibilities for the customer. Within this selection, a 30x30 square photo book offers a pleasing and balanced appearance, due to the fact that both the vertical and horizontal axes are equally important. And as you probably know, visual simmetry and evenness tend to create a sense of peace and harmony. For this reason, the pages of a square photo book have a soothing effect on the reader.

Because of their square format, one could think that 12x12" photo books would be small, but in fact they aren't: the orthogonal layout actually expands the picture, focusing on the main details of the image while helping you gain space. To complete a five-star personalised photo album, this product includes a highly-resistant hardcover, which grants your collection of photographs with a noble and impressive presence.

Helpful hints to print a photo book in a 12x12" size

If you've decided to print a photo book in a square 12x12" format, paying attention to some important details will help you make the best out of your photographs and fondest memories. In this regard, myphotobok UK's team of experts recommends:

• providing a minimum picture resolution of 1205 x 1181 pixels: as for example, with pictures that have been taken with an electronic device (say an iPhone or Samsung smartphone). Nevertheless, this will only ensure the most basic level of image quality. To produce a photo book with stunning pictures, feel free to upload photos with a resolution of up to 3060 x 3000 pixels - usually taken with a good photographic camera.  In any event, our online design tool will warn you with a message if any of the uploaded pictures have insufficient resolution. Please remember to check the final result of the photobook by switching to preview mode.
• finding a storyline within your photos: it is definitely easier to design a photo book that reveals some kind of logical order. This order can be chronological, thematic or visual. Presenting similar shapes and symbols in a sort of leitmotiv or adding inspiring pieces of text increases the artistic value of a 12x12" square photo book. To accomplish this, a whole repertory of cliparts, fonts, backgrounds and resizable shapes supports your creative skills.
• printing a photo book with a hardcover: especially if the photobook isn't always going to be handled carefully (e.g. when lent to children, if it is kept in the car for long periods or if shown around in some family celebration). A hardback album offers a solid protection against external damages, such as dust, air moisture and liquids, therefore keeping the book pages in the best conditions and stopping them from getting bent. Hardback photo books are available as standard hard cover books, linen photo books and leather-bound photo books.

myphotobook's design tool can be used either online and offline. However, please bear in mind that photographic projects can only be saved in the offline software version. If you are using the online platform, it will be necessary to create a personal account in order to keep your images and custom formatting.

 A 12x12" wedding photo book with a hardcover

12x12" hardback photo books are also frequently used for printing a wedding photo album. The square size and compact look easily compare to that of a romantic booklet containing songs and poems. Indulge in the fascinating atmosphere of the day you got married while you enjoy your greatest wedding pics. In this photobook size, you will be able to print a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 250 pages.

How "personalised"can photo books be?

There are certainly some standard angles, positions and phrases that usually appear in personalised photo books, even more so in wedding photo albums. Yet, many couples manage to come up with surprising and highly artistic ideas. Getting disguised, playing with different masks, changing the background like a in a film setting, creating some kind of theatrical scene or focusing on different details other than the classical flower bouquet and wedding dress can make your album look unique and original.

myphotobook UK lets you personalise your photo books as much as:

• selecting the type of cover (with a choice of a hardcover, softcover, linen or leather cover),
• choosing the size: from square photo books (30x30 and 20x20) to the rectangular ones (A3, A4, A5 and A6),
• printing the images digitally or actually developing them to make them look like real photographs,
• adding a glossy or a matte finish.
• customising every bit of the photobook (from the cover, to the book spine and inner pages).

Not only as a wedding photo album, but also for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, personalised 12x12" photo books are a popular gift choice.

Design & print a hardback travel photo book

Tell the story of your last holiday trip in original travel photo books and fill them with thrilling adventures. Funny anecdotes, an impressive city skyline or famous monuments will be immortalised in a DIY self-designed album. Use the historic sites as the stage setting for your own Hollywood film, where the script is told with photographs, while you and your soulmate are the real stars.

Since a 12x12" hardback photo book is a trendy format supporting both portrait and landscape captions, you will be able to include impressive panoramic views and closer captures.

If your travel photo book is to be printed on normal sheets (250gr/m² thickness), consider adding a high-gloss film, which makes the pages more resistant, as well as strengthening the colour brilliance. If in turn, you select photo paper sheets, your images will be developed as genuine photographs, as a part of a high-quality photo album. In this case, a matte finish will save the photos from getting greasy fingerprints on them.

Use different filters (black & white, sepia or vintage) to enhance the face expressions of the people who appear or to depict the different emotions contained in certain scene.

From a memorable one-day excursion with your kids to your honeymoon or a last-minute trip to some lost Mediterranean island, a 30x30 cm hardback photo book helps you save your life's greatest moments in a personalised travel photo book that lasts for many years. Bring back those important memories to life with meaningful pictures and share them with your loved ones!
