Design 5: These Three Boys are Family
Â
- DESIGN 5: FRONT
This is a square, tri-fold card.
Â
- DESIGN 5: FRONT FLAP
This is one of my favorite family shots of one of my favorite families!
Â
- DESIGN 5: INSIDE
The inside of a tri-fold card measures 5×15. Each boy had his own panel. In the original design, the boy’s name was under his picture, and the card was signed at the lower right.
Â
- DESIGN 5: BACK
This is another one of my favorite family pictures.
- Specs: Square 5×5 tri-fold card on archival linen with the inside design spanning the inside spread, folded in thirds.
What I love about this design — I first worked with this family in the summer of 2007. The boys loved their rock-star slide show so much that by the time I showed up for their second shoot, they were eager to get started, and the fun never stopped all day long! The boys played with their mom and dad at the beach, at the park, at a favorite restaurant, and finally, at home. I love this card because it captures that Family Day spirit and would be a wonderful keepsake not only for each of them and for close family members, but would also be a great way for distant family and friends to get a glimpse into their everyday lives.

I wasn’t able to comment on the remembering summer card but that was my favorite because I love summer and i enjoy seeing people relaxed and having fun. I especially like the boys’ pictures on top of a background shot of them. probably not explaining it correctly but i like when the pictures are superimposed on others. there must be another term for that. Nice card. Well done!
Tracy-February 6, 2009
I love the black and white photos on the “old” looking background with the bright contrast to the colored photos inside and the youthfulness of the boys.
three trees on the cover, exactly right. the two-toneness of the outside opens to a beautiful full-color inside. also perfect.
I really like the fold out design. Very unique. The card has a rustic look and feel to it. Love the back picture.
I love the green with the black and white photos. And the boys are adorable!
