Create a photo book with a square shape
Square photo book formats are indeed very different to all other models within the great photobook family. In a square photo book, all four sides have the same length and are equally important. In fact, it is this symmetry and closed shape that build the intimate and discrete character of square photo books. Whether you decide to create a photo book with a hardcover, softcover or leather cover, you can benefit from its overwhelming simplicity to make personal and genuine collections of your happiest memories. myphotobook's online shop allows you to design a photo book in two different square formats, including:- 30x30cm (12x12") photo books: in which the pictures should not exceed 13x18 cm measurements. Concerning image resolution, the limit of 3,060x 3,000 pixels should not be exceeded. Optimal resolution is 2354 x 2331 pixels and make sure to meet a minimum of 1177 x 1165 pixels;
- 20x20cm (8x8") photo books: in this case we recommend a maximum size photo size of 20x30 cm. Maximum image resolution needs to be below 2354 x 2331 pixels, but shouldn't be any less than 1177 x 1165 pixels.

Square photo books: 7 design tips
Luckily, there is no more need to stick each single picture on to the album, neither do you need glue for it. In this day in age, personalised photo books are easily created and put together online. However, it may take a while to get used to the process. In this section we offer a few helpful design tips to make it simpler for you:- Especially in a square photobook, avoid overloading a page with too many pictures at the same time. In any event, add no more than 4 different pictures on a single page;
- Photos don't always need to be stretched to their maximum size to look good. Remember that the actual square shape will already produce this "magnifying effect";
- Due to the discrete and elegant character of square photo books, a dark background combined with medium size photos makes a good match, as often seen in art catalogues;
- Try zooming into a picture section which you would like to highlight. This will increase its dynamism;
- Place long panoramic pictures over a whole spread: in this way you will gain about 60 cms length for your pictures!
- If extended over a group of pages, series of photos can easily catch and increase the reader's attention throughout the book, therby encouraging him to continue to turnthe pages;
- Use the provided frames from photobook creator to enhance important pictures.
