In a previous blog I have mentioned using on line printers and discussed the use of Photobox to produce calendars. 'blurb' is another option - www.blurb.com .
Blurb can be used to produce books:
With 'blurb' I can cheaply print a book of my images, including any text I may like to include. such text could be purely descriptive, indicate the time of shots, why they were taken; it could include poetry or prose which I considered to be valid to the image. In other words there is a tremendous scope and versatility with this tool, and at a reasonable price.
For anyone who wishes to enter into professional photography a book would be an easy way to show your product to prospective customers. Several copies could be printed of a book recording the memories of a family holiday to be shared as a cherished memento.
One idea is to print the blog produced for this course as a book. This is really tempting. It would be an easily accessible version of my work; it would be a resource for the new skills I have learnt; it could be shared with my family and friends and would be a reminder to me of all that I had achieved - produced at a reasonable cost, and not too bulky as a final product compared to traditional portfolios in folders. Details of this follow below:
Other ideas:
In conclusion 'blurb' is an easy to use on line tool for the production of individualised books of photographic images, at a reasonable price.
