HAVE A STYLISH PHOTO BOOK MADE
GUIDE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR TRAVEL DIARY
If you have kept a travel journal, this can also be incorporated into the photo book in a stylish way so that the book tells a nice story in text as well as photos.
The guide below applies only to submitting a travel diary. If you only want to include a few loose phrases in your photo book, you can indicate this by submitting changes once the draft design is ready.
1. PHOTOS PER DAY
To ensure that the text goes with the right day or right photo in the book, it is important that you deliver the text in an organized manner.
If you haven’t done this yet, make sure you first have the photos organized in separate folders by day.
2. WORD-DOCUMENT
Provide the text in a Word document.
Make sure it is clear which text belongs to which folder of photos. You’ve probably, as indicated in the previous step, placed the photos for each day in a separate folder.
Then, above each piece of text, indicate which folder of photos the text belongs to. As shown here.
3. TEXT FOR A SPECIFIC PHOTO
If you have text that needs to be specifically associated with a photo, indicate this by mentioning the file name of the photo above the piece of text.
4. WORD DOCUMENT IN THE RIGHT FOLDER
Save the Word-document in the same folder where the picture folders are. That way it is easy to find.
5. CREATE ZIP FILE
Once you have saved the Word document, you will create a ZIP file.
This way, all folders and files are linked together in one file, making it easy to send.
1. Select all folders by tapping [Alles selecteren], or typing [Ctrl + A] on your keyboard
2. Click ‘Send to’
3. Click ‘compressed zip-file’.
6. ZIP FILE HAS BEEN CREATED
If all goes well, a ZIP file has now been created.
You can tell by the file extension ‘.zip’

Rename the ZIP file so you can easily recognize the file.
For example, “Fotoboek Australie 2018” in this case.

12. WAITING FOR THE FILE TO BE SENT

Do not close the Internet screen until the upload is completely finished!
