About

I am looking for a gifted visual storyteller to design a photo album that captures the feeling, flow, and narrative of our recent family trip to Italy and Istanbul to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. The goal is not just an attractive layout, but a sequence that feels alive; one that can draw a reader into the journey, evoking the emotions of each moment. The album would run between 38 and 46 pages. You’ll receive all the photos to use, more than needed so that you can consider the best subset for the narrative. You would arrange them into a cohesive visual story, balancing pacing, rhythm, and atmosphere across the pages. A thoughtful sense of sequencing and space plus things you know that I do not! Adobe InDesign skill is preferred for this project, though Canva or an equivalent platform may be used if it achieves a comparable result. The final layout and artwork should include a print‑ready PDF with bleed and crop marks, along with the native working file. Please also recommend an appropriate online printer and confirm that the layout is optimized for their print specifications. The finished album should feel cinematic, and emotionally resonant, a gift she will want to keep!
