How to Show Your Physical Transformation With a Photobook?

Kudos to the job well done

Obesity has become an epidemic in developed countries. Therefore, more and more people are getting to know about the adverse effects and the causes of this disease. Consequently, there exist a lot of pictures and videos on the internet that show how people have transformed themselves physically into a different person altogether. 

If you are one of them, then kudos to the job well done because not everyone has the guts to control their animal instincts. Hence, you should share this achievement with your loved ones in a way that it becomes a treasured memento for you and your loved ones because you totally deserve it.

Why are photobooks important?

In this regard, photo books are a great way of telling photo stories because they will partly be able to reflect emotions and the memories of each  capture. Moreover, they transform a digital impression of a memory into something tangible, as if you can touch that particular memory in the book of your life. 

The good thing is that as a generation, we have taken a liking to capture almost all the critical events. But, not all of us have the habit of sharing these captured moments with our special ones. Please note that haphazardly showing these pictures does not create the desired impact because photos reflect stories, and they must be told in a particular way to be heard. Therefore, photobooks provide the ideal template to create a storyline for achieving the monumental task of physical transformation.

But, photo books have to be appropriately utilized to get the desired impact. Therefore, we have listed several tips that you should consider to create a powerful relic of your magical transformation.

• Review and Organize your Photos:

Hound for photos taken during the time of your transformation in your phone, tablet, and digital camera. Collect all of your fat, muscles, and body cuts in a single folder so that you can organize and review all of them. Once reviewed, you can upload all the selected ones at once to the photobook-making software or the printing app of your choice.

• Select your photos sensibly:

You may have taken hordes of pictures of your body, but filtering through them will be a challenge that you must surpass with flying colors because poorly chosen photos will smother the essence of your photobook.

Therefore, make sure that while sifting through the photos, you arrange them into two folders. One folder shall include those photos that you love, and the other one will have those pictures which have excellent pixel quality. Once sorted, select the images that are common in both folders.

In that case, you may have to lose on some low-quality pictures you dearly love because blurry pictures get worse in their visual appeal after printing.

But do not worry because we have a solution for this problem.

• Put the spotlight on your favorite pictures:

After all, it is your photobook reflecting your transformation; then, it must include images that you love. One way to add such photos is to reduce their size and place them on the fringes of your layout so that you can feel their presence, albeit a small one.

But, we do not want all of your favorite pictures to go on the fringes, and hopefully, there will be pictures you love that have decent pixel quality. For example, if you wish to display your abs or your bulging biceps, or trimmed love handles, put those pictures in the spotlight by pasting them on the center space.

• Variety is the spice of life:

We know that variety is the spice of life, then can we ignore it in the photo book that reflects a part of our life. Therefore, please do not use the same photo layout repeatedly and keep changing it so that your photobook looks multi-faceted and has visual appeal to attract the attention of the readers.

You can also create variety by changing the content like putting belly transformation on one page, chest on another, biceps on another, and you can start the loop again.

• Choose the perfect theme:

Choosing the perfect theme will not only provide color to your photobook, but it will bind it together in the form of a storyline and, more precisely, the genre of the story. You can select a theme that goes with your story of physical transformation. 

You should select your theme such that just by looking at the first page, the reader would get the idea and feel of the rest of the content. If you are struggling with creating a theme, you can find a range of options available at several photobook softwares available online.

• Use helping text:

A perfect photo book does not only include the beautifully arranged pictures. Sure, the photo layout constitutes a vital part of your story, but it is equally important to bridge the gap between images and the reader’s knowledge about each image.  

Therefore, you shall always include helping text like dates, quotes, your feelings about a particular picture, or a line about the struggle you went through to achieve a specific body cut. Make that happen on almost every page that requires such a description, and it will connect the reader to your pictures in such a way that he will be able to visualize your achievement through your eyes.

• Arrange it chronologically:

Since you wish to tell the story of your transformation, then it is always a good idea to arrange it chronologically. Moreover, this tip will come in handy if you are looking to show the transformation of your body. Because the reader will be able to appreciate it more if there is a proper sequence that shows a gradual lessening of fat, build-up of muscles, and chiseling of abs on your body.

• Carefully craft the cover page:

It is always better to craft the cover page at the end of your photo book’s designing phase because you will then be better equipped to depict the feel of your photo book in terms of name and outlook. Moreover,  both title and outlook of your photo book must be catchy so that the readers can feel compelled to give your photo book a read.  

Transforming yourself is an achievement, and it should be shared with your family and other loved ones in the form of a photo book because it will reflect your heart and the effort you put in to achieve the desired body shape.
