Only hard and precise layout design can lead readers to immerse themselves in the wonder of craft albums.

Pre-pressing technology, such as UV relief, bronzing, indentation, can display the artwork in the album three-dimensionally, making it more stereoscopic and realistic. The paper chosen should consider its expressiveness: The clarity of the image, the accuracy of the color and the texture of the paper. Finally, in printing and binding, attention should be paid to the use of special binding methods such as color restoration and trigger folio, hardcover horse binding, to ensure the finished craft album exquisite, outstanding.

Third, get a comprehensive understanding of the target audience. The aesthetic sense of the album design must accord with the audience's aesthetic, and the content should also meet their cognitive needs. Through market research, analyze audience's reading habits, artistic orientation and shopping behavior, and customize their own craft albums accordingly.

Fourth, enable innovative elements. Artwork album design should not only follow tradition, but also be brave to innovate. It is necessary to respect and retain the essence of art in the design, but also dare to break the rules and innovate the expression. This is reflected both in the shooting and presentation of artworks, and in the later design and treatment.

Finally, the introduction of industry avant-garde technologies. With the development of digitalization and intelligence, elements such as QR code, AR, and AI have gradually penetrated into album design. Skillful use of these elements not only enriches the content form of the album, increases the interactivity, but also improves the user experience and further enhances the unique value of the craft album.
