I love this photo book cover!!! Inspired by an image I found on pinterest, I selected a photograph to fill the entire cover and then place the title of the book in a gray box using a classic looking font. Another gray box indicates the family name of the year of the annual family photo book. This photo book cover is extremely classy and sophisticated.

This cover design is similar to last week’s design, yet in this case, the font is bold and bright. You don’t have to go with a black background to get a cover like this, but I suggest selecting two contrasting colors for the background and the font color. You want there to be a difference in order to make the font really stand out.

This cover is serious and silly at the same time. A silly black and white photo is paired with a stark black background and a thin gray text. The font happily takes a backset in this design…and that is the point. Nothing over-done. It is very simple…and in its simplicity, it makes you want to pick it up and view the pages inside.
The inspiration for this cover is on my pinterest board “Layouts.” Are you following me yet?

I love the simplicity of this photo book cover design. The photograph is simple and concentrated. A minimal “2012” is in the negative space of the photograph to indicate the year. And that is it! Voila!

This is a fantastic cover to pair with the handwritten photo book design. It seems personal, casual, yet real. Provide a fun title, select a photo to match and you have created a cover that showcases your family’s personality. Underneath the photo, I created a sub-title to indicate the year and your family name. One final note, you will see that I have a faint color to the background. This would extend on the back and the side flaps for consistency. This is a nice option to include if you want something a little different from the typical white background.

There is not a better way to describe the love you have for your family, than selecting an everyday full of life photograph and making a bold statement on the cover. The text on this photograph is slightly transparent to reveal a bit of the photograph. This cover is easy to complete. Select a familyphotograph and a statement or quote. Imagine how beautiful this would be on your coffee table?

For this example of a family photo book cover, I use a vibrant background graphic to provide some visual interest and then float two boxes in the center. The top box announces the family name or the title of the book in a bold font to stand out. The lower box features a black and white photograph of my two kids together. This combination provides a great way to provide a little more visual punch without becoming too busy. Plus it is one simple way to show a singular family photograph without it taking the entire cover or floating in a sea of white space.
