Hey guys!! I'll be honest here..I prefer making my albums with no titles at all, but sometimes I feel like the customer might feel let down if I don't include them? What do you guys think? I mean..would it be easier for you guys if we possibly included the kit's alpha in with the album (for those buying just the album)? I don't use titles too much, so I'm just wondering which way I should go with this one? More titles on seperate files or no titles at all?

Thanks for all the feedback, it really helps and we love hearing from you!

Having only started digi scrapping a few weeks ago, I'm no expert on this at all...so I'm not even sure if it's possible/do-able (?), but....could you not add the title/words onto a separate layer of the template? That way people can turn it on/off as they wish

We definitely could do that and save as a .PSD which would be a larger size, or just make the title and sve it as it's own .PNG image. I think the latter is what most of the girls do. I will do this from now on with any titles I might add.

Going forward with what Manda was talking about....

In the past I have included a few "extras" with my albums. This was quite a while ago -- more than a year. I used to include some tags, fasteners, and usually an alpha. That way they could customize their pages to their liking. Also.. this wasn't for shaped quickpages, but instead an album of 12x12 pages.

There are a couple of problems with this. I purposely made my quickpages a little more simple in design so that they could add-on what they wanted. I then decided it wasn't that great of an idea, cuz I figured the customers that pruchase pre-made albums are buying them because it is a fast and easy way to get pages done. They don't necessarily want to add anything onto it (other than their photos and maybe some journaling).

I would love to hear from a customer's point of view on putting a few "extras" into the zip file with the albums. It could be as simple as including the alpha that is included in the kit (but I think this would probably result in a higher price tag on the albums). Which IMO would be something a lot of you wouldn't want -- especially if you purchase the kit the first week of release and get the matching album for free (in which caase you would already have the alpha).

Hugs,
Eva

Along those lines Eva, I'd say I'd rather have nothing extra in the album kits to keep the cost down. Especially, like you said, since the alpha would be in the kit and during the first week you get them together anyway. I'm sure Traci will kill me for saying this, cuz I know she makes a lot of the albums for ppl, but once the FWP is over, the albums alone are pretty expensive as it is (just my opinion though).

Personally, all I need is a page with a title, and the same page without the title, and I'm happy. I wouldn't even go so far as making the titles seperate png files. Just gimme 2 of the same QP, with and without the title.

So what you're saying is..if I add maybe 2-3 wordarts in with the album, I don't have to do any other titles? Is that what you're saying Meg? LOL

I think this would be a great solution.

This is definately something I will keep in mind when designing my albums and I will make sure and pass along the word to my album designers.
