BLISS DESIGN

New Year, New Etsy Shop :)

2011-01-12T03:16:00.000-08:00

We're branching out into designing some gorgeous props especially for photographers. Its so much fun and the products are just gorgeous.

Go check it out.

Oooh and if you purchase some, send me some pics of the product in your shoots, and we'll promote you on our Etsy, Facebook and Blog :)

Album Designs - Clear that backlog!

2010-11-21T18:49:00.000-08:00

Well, we've got only about 40 days or something until the end of the year - where on earth did that time go?

How's your workload looking??

We've been designing wedding and portrait albums since 1999, so let us take over hassle of designing an album for you.

We supply you with layered PSD files so you can completely customise the design if you so desire.

All albums are individually designed, and we can promise that no two albums will look the same. Your album won't look the same as the photographer down the road, we promise :)

With album designs from $250 for up to 50 sides, is it really worth your time to design, when you've got so much else to do?

Give Debbie a call on 0412 679 017 to sort out your album design issues.

Panoramic Album Design

2010-11-02T15:07:00.000-07:00

I adore the Panoramic Albums from various companies like Vision Art, Finao and Seldex Australia.

This wedding was very well suited to that style - fabulous location with lots of landscape inclusive shots.

Album Layout Samples

2010-10-20T20:24:00.000-07:00

This is an album we've recently designed - very clean layout, it was designed for a 12x12 Vision Art book.

The design will translate across to almost any album company and can even be adapted for half matted, half digital spreads.

** Please note, These are not templates for sale, just examples of our design work. We use a combination of Photojunction, Page Gallery and custom designed pages, depending on what our photographers want to use as a design tool and output option**

First Template - Yay!

2010-10-18T17:30:00.000-07:00

Album Design

2010-10-14T00:54:00.000-07:00

Album Design is quite often one of those jobs that sometimes gets pushed back during the busy wedding seasons and we leave it to sit there and sit there until our clients get slightly cranky at how long its taking. Sound familiar?

If you're snowed under and just can't get on top of your album designs, here's a bit of help for you.

Our design prices are fairly simple:

Album Design Service

$250 for up to 50 pages/sides
$450 for up to 100 pages/sides
$590 for up to 150 pages/sides

$5 per page beyond 150 pages

You will receive your album pages in layered PSD files so that you can make changes yourself if you wish. Any other formats are by request.

At this stage, we're layout service only. Depending on demand, we'll look at offering an editing service as well.

We design in Photojunction and other software, so if you need specific album specs through Photojunction, that's no problem.

How it works

1. Email me at debbie@blissdesigns.com.au with your order and a link to the style of album you want
2. I'll send a response email with the FTP details and a quick list of what information I need to know
3. FTP your images to be used in the album - and send a quick email to let me know you've sent it through
4. Allow me to work my magic :)
5. About 1-2 weeks later, voila, I'll have the album layout to you on DVD in the post

Payment Options

Credit card or direct debit. Payment to be made on upload of images please.

Any queries, feel free to contact me on 0412 679 017 or via email debbie@blissdesigns.com.au

A New Beginning

2010-09-14T23:06:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the Bliss Designs Blog. Bliss Photography has had blogs before, but this is a little sidestep for the business.

Bliss Designs was born out of the need for photographers (and other industries, naturally) needing to have small jobs desktop publishing jobs organised, without costing the earth.

We'll be putting all sorts of things on this blog - inspirations, how-to's, great finds... that sort of thing.

Anyhoo, enjoy and let your friends know we exist!

Here's a couple of random pics from the last few months to start...
