How do you design a Queensberry album? Well, we can design it for you, or you can do it yourself using third party software like Fundy or SmartAlbums, our desktop application Photojunction, or the Workspace Album Designer. But — let's be frank — until now the Workspace design feature has been just a little underpowered! We've been working hard to change that, however, and we reckon Workspace Album Designer is  turning into a powerful and intuitive program that for many people could just be their best choice.

The first in a series about the art of storytelling in album design. Every day at Queensberry we create books and albums about wedding days, birthdays and family celebrations.

The last one was largely about the shopping cart feature, but this time we've added a number of To View More >>

The White Bull - it's that empty page that stares at you intimidatingly - and most creative people have come across it more than they’d like. When I first started designing albums, I would sometimes sit at my computer staring at a blank layout or clicking and fussing, swapping this and that only to decide that the layout actually looked better the way it was! Creative energy needs to be used wisely, so if you agree that album design can be time consuming - and occasionally an absolute pain in the butt! - here's a little about Queensberry's design service, so you can get back to what you’re To View More >>

How do you deal with changes your clients want to make to their album design? It's a question that came up recently with a photographer who was considering changing his strategy. He was saying that there's a fine balance between creating a beautiful album design, and not letting the clients destroy it, and delivering something the couple feel connected too. So what are your options? Here are a few. None of them are right or wrong. Like your pricing, style, branding etc you've got to figure out what works best for you, and your clients. 1.
