More Album Stuff

After Qarik's thread, I thought that it might be interesting to see what other people do for their albums and where they get their inspiration. I've only made one so far, so I have a lot of learning to do.

My inspiration for this album design came from Sarah Rhoads's work. Here is a link to a fabulous album design. I love how clean and simple it is. I am not sure that I would want to put a logo and page number on each spread, though.

So keeping some of her design ideas in mind while trying to come up with my own style, here are some pages/spreads I came up with:

I guess what I tried to take away from SR is to not be afraid of the white space and that it's ok to find a way to use it.

So yeah, please show and tell: where do you get your ideas for album design?

Beautiful! I need to learn to use more negative space.

Here's a few spreads from a recent album.

My favorite album pages are always the ones with the images of just the bride and groom, this is from a recent album I printed for a client.
I design everything in LumaPix FotoFusion and then I print Pacific Albums from Bay Photo. Quality is great.
