When I first started our album design, I had no idea what I was doing.
I know I mentioned that Mr. Ant and I worked on our high school yearbook together, but the truth is we hardly knew a thing about current layout and publishing methods. Our yearbook club cropped photos by hand and used a dinosaur-age layout software. (Public school pride, baby!)
So, like I said. Noooo idea what I was doing. Until…
My dear friend Google showed me this video tutorial on how to use Adobe Indesign to design wedding albums!

You can download the educational 40-minute tutorial here for only $35. It was very Indesign-specific and covered general album layout techniques, transparency, layers, borders, drop shadows, exporting, and more. As someone who was completely new to Indesign, I found the tutorial to be extremely helpful.
I have the entire Adobe Creative Suite 2, which includes Photoshop, Bridge, and Indesign. I learned that Indesign is one of the best desktop publishing programs out there. Once I got the hang of it (with help from the tutorial), I found it to be a powerful tool that allowed me to quickly put together any layout design I could envision.
