Photobook Design Tip: How to Layer Images

There are so many ways to add personality and unique touches to your photobooks, but one of our favorites is layering images. This technique works best when your background image includes a nature landscape or pattern, rather than people. By layering your photos, you can achieve a custom designed look without being a professional designer. We promise, it’s easy to do!
