Our Hardcover A4 Landscape is our most popular Hardcover photobook. But we recommend you have a look at our 300x300 Hardcover before settling in and starting your project. The A4 Landscape Hardcover's pages are a standard size and familiar proportion. The book opens up into a wide panoramic spread which can be beautiful for sweeping panoramic designs. We highly recommend the Layflat paper option on this book, as it opens flat and you don’t lose any print real estate in the spine.

Who needs a bit of help making a BEAUTIFUL photobook?✋

Not all of us are artistically gifted and find making gorgeous photo books easy. The great news is we’ve taken care of that for you with our photobook themes.
At RapidStudio, we’ve teamed up with gifted designers to create photobook designs, templates and layouts in various themes and styles. They are beautifully laid out, come with carefully selected clip art, backgrounds, theme-based designs and a range of page layouts to choose from to make the perfect photo book.
Navigate to our photobook themes page via the ‘more photobook themes’ button that appears at the bottom of our photobook pages. Click on the theme icon that interests you and a preview of that theme will pop up for your perusal. If you’d like a more thorough look at the photobook theme and layout, select the blue ‘create now’ button and it will launch the online photobook software in the theme you selected and you can page through the entire photobook. Start creating your photobook or hit the back arrow to preview another theme.
Our newest designs are Bluegum and Camping themes. The Bluegum is made in gorgeous sage green and light blues, it offers plenty of space for quotes in lovely font. Works great as a Mother’s Day photobook theme or a gratitude book to say thanks to someone special. The camping theme has bright colours and fun camping theme clipart to help capture those family adventures. There are themes for baby photobooks, floaty romantic themes for proposal, valentine, wedding or engagement photo book albums, and we’re always working on adding new designs.
We hope you have fun turning your memories to photo books to print. If you have ideas for photo book themes feel free to share them with us at info@rapidstudio.co.za. Happy creating!
