IMAGE COVER TEMPLATES

template-update (2)

IMAGE COVER TEMPLATES HAVE BEEN UPDATED THIS YEAR.  MAKE SURE YOU’RE USING THE CORRECT TEMPLATE FOR YOUR COVER IMAGE BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ORDER.

This is IMPERATIVE to make sure your order is counted as a HOLIDAY ORDER.  All orders expected for holiday delivery MUST be submitted COMPLETE AND CORRECT before the product deadline.  Incorrect cover images will delay your order and could disqualify it from being included as a holiday order.

Not sure which to use? This should help:

Example 1: You’re ordering an 8×8 playBOOK with 12 leaves/24 page-sides and you want a Photo Wrap cover.

Use the playBOOK photo wrap template for an 8×8 playBOOK with 12 leaves (NOT 24 leaves). You select the “LEAF COUNT” at the beginning of the order. So, if you selected “12 leaves/24 sides”, you’ll refer to the template for 12 leaves, NOT 24 (as 24 is the number of page sides).

Go to PRODUCTS > PLAYBOOK > PHOTO WRAP > select “Download playBOOK photo wrap template kit”

The most recent templates at this time are from a .zip file named “finao-playbook-photowrap-10262012.zip”  Please DOUBLE CHECK that this is the correct folder you are pulling your templates from!

The template to use in this example should be named “pb-8×8-10-13lvs“.

Here’s a pic for reference:

Download the playBOOK photo wrap template kit .zip folder and open it, select your size (in this case 8×8) and now select your LEAF count (1/2 the total page-sides).

 

Example 2: You’re ordering a 14×10 horizontal ONE with an Armour metal image cover.

For specialty covers like ICE, Armour, Erotika, Bebbalicious and Canvas Panel that only have an image on the front cover, you do not need to worry about the leaf count as you do for the Canvas Wrap or the photo wraps for the other album lines.  BUT, you do need to use the appropriate template for your album’s size and orientation.  You also must FILL the entire template.

Go to PRODUCTS > Finao ONE > SPECIALTY COVERS (find your cover, in this case it’s Armour) > select “Download ICE/Armour template kit”

The most recent templates at this time are from a .zip file named “finao-ice-armour-09102012.zip”  Please DOUBLE CHECK that this is the correct folder you are pulling your templates from!

The template to use in this example should be named “ia-14×10-horizontal”.

Here’s a pic for reference:

 

Example 3: You’re ordering a 10×15 vertical ONE with a Canvas Wrap cover and 15 leaves/30 page-sides in the medium page style.

Just like example 1, you will choose the appropriate template based on the album size AND the number of LEAVES. BUT, since the ONE offers two page thicknesses, you’ll ALSO need to account for the page style you are choosing, Thick or Medium, as this will affect the thickness of the spine area on the design.

Remember: # of leaves = 1/2 of your total page-sides.  So you will choose the folder of FULL CANVAS (canvas wrap) templates for Medium Pages > then the folder of 10×15 vertical templates with medium pages > and then select the 10×15 Vertical template for 14-20 leaves.

Go to PRODUCTS > Finao ONE > SPECIALTY COVERS (find your cover, in this case Canvas) > select “Download Canvas template kit” (includes both Canvas Wrap and Canvas Panel templates).

The most recent templates at this time are from a .zip file named “finao-canvas-10042012.zip”  Please DOUBLE CHECK that this is the correct folder you are pulling your templates from!

The template to use in this example should be named “10x15v-med_14-20lvs”.

Comparison: Finao Metal Album Covers

Erotika Metal Cover by Finao Albums.

Finao’s endless material and cover design options allow you to create totally unique and custom looks for each client.  We seek out anything that’s different, edgy, fashion forward and modern so that you can present your clients with the most stylish choices in the industry.  With so many choices, I am often asked to compare the differences between some of our offerings, most commonly, the metal upgrade options offered for the Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums.

We absolutely love the look of metal, and offer three different metal cover options for your Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums: Bullet, Armour and Erotika.  Let’s take a look at what makes each of them unique; a little comparison and contrast, if you will….

Photo depicting the three metal upgrade optoins offered with the Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums. Bullet: a plain brushed metal cover, Armour: a laminated metallic print on metal base, and Erotika: laid ink on metal where highlights are dropped and metal shows through.

Finao offers 3 distinct metal cover options for the flush mount ONE and artONE album lines.

Bullet: Simple and sleek, this brushed metal front cover panel is accompanied by your choice of leather.  This is a plain cover with no printed image, however, etching is available in a selection of fonts that can be viewed here.  Bullet is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.

Armour: A printed metallic emulsion mounted to a thick metal base and then coated for protection from scratches and added durability.  The metals in the print give your photo a very fine shimmer that just adds beauty to this stunning cover option.  Since this is an image cover, any text or personalization that you may want to include can be designed directly into your cover image.  Armour is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.  Free sizing templates are available at www.finao.com.

Erotika: Your custom cover image is laid onto a brushed metal base-cover using inks.  Erotika couldn’t just be left like that, however; we take it a step further and drop out the highlights so that the sleek, sexy metal peeks through.  You can actually feel the different levels of ink on the metal as you run your fingers across its surface.  Erotika is perfect for images with high-key or blown-out areas and can also create a very cool effect on black and white images.  Like the Armour and other specialty image covers, simply include any personalization into the cover image.  Erotika is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.  Free sizing templates are available at www.finao.com.

ALL specialty front cover panels including these and the ICE, Canvas Panel, Magical Mystery Glass and Bebbalicious need to be paired with one of Finao’s amazing leathers for the spine and back.  The faux and fabric materials won’t do the trick, so luckily Finao offers more leathers than anyone!  Make sure you stay up to date with your swatches and also stay tuned for some more tasty custom Finao materials that we’re developing now!

See what others are saying about it!  Drop by our Facebook and Pinterest pages for tons of photo examples submitted by other customers!

New Cover Image Templates for Finao’s ICE & Armour

We’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning and thought it was time to spruce up some of our old templates too!  The ICE acrylic image cover and Armour metal image cover have been updated to help eliminate a little wasted space that fell under the leather spine material.

If you have one of these specialty covers in the works already, no worries, your old template will do the trick too, but if you haven’t finished your design yet or are planning one down the road, please take a second to grab the new version.
