What's up at Fotocodex

We're working out the options for this to make the design of the covers easy. In this example the cover is white with the title printed using black text. The photo bleeds off one end of the book, almost leading you into it while the rest is surrounded by an elegant white margin.

The material we are printing on has a linen like textured feel. It has been designed for covering books so it is super resistant to handling which is fantastic. We want them to be passed around, leafed through and oooh'd and ahhh'd over for many many years!

We print using a state of the art high resolution flatbed printer. We've pulled out all the stops and yet and yet this will be an affordable option!

For our sample digital photo wedding album we've placed one of the wedding pictures on the back cover.

It will be available soon. Stay posted.

Immortalise your life through a digital photo book

The story of your life can come alive with the pictures you have taken throughout the years. When you sit looking at a batch of old photos, you cherish every moment as you reminisce of the good times and the sad times; looking into the eyes of family and friends who warmed your heart and have been with you through every experience. For the few that are dedicated, these pictures will make their way into a photo album to provide a chronological timeframe. But for most, this is a laborious process.

Today, digital cameras make it so easy and affordable to take thousands of pictures, now that the cost of development is eliminated. Computer hard drives are filled with folders containing these life events, including those 50th, 75th, and 90th birthday milestones. As the years go on, the pictures accumulate in folder after folder, each one labeled for every life event.

Your life, in digital pictures, becomes electronically saved on your computer. With very little effort, you could create a digital photo album to allow the photographs to be viewed by anyone, anywhere. Better still; the album is not limited to only your photos. You can have others send their photos of you to add to your life story. Fotocodex can help. Fotocodex provides the tools to intermix all of these pictures. Contributors can provide their photos and add comments about you to each one. This single project, your life, can result in a very poignant story - laid out in pictures. Once the book is complete Fotocodex will print out this very special digital photo book that you will cherish for the rest of your life
