Hi Sweetie,... what was your original top-up budget?
15R size, 40 pages is no joke to handle.
If you downgrade the size you can save some money- too large pics really sometimes look worse than smaller pics. 15R seems pretty big to me when it's one pic only on one page... you originally wanted 28 pics this size that takes up whole 15R page... flipping and seeing 28 pics this full size can be abit overwhelming.
Can also consider trimming some pics (compromise)?
Magazine pics with 3 or 4 pics on one page costs more per addition of pic, may look cluttered and each pic too small. Not worth it IMO to have
too many 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 although tempting cos you get more pics quickly.
<U>Why not,</U>
60 pics/ 40 pages, 12R size instead of original 66 pics/ 40 pages, 15R size?
<U>This breakdown:</U>
*
28 pics/ ("full pic-in-1 page") 28 pages same as original 28 pics/ 28 pages
- Save $$$ cos downgrade size.
- Each pic will still be reasonably big (IMO) rather than possibly too big.
*
32 pics/ (16 pics are "2 pics-in-1 page") 8 pages + (16 pics are "4 pics-in-1 page") 4 pages instead of original 38 pics/ 12 pages
- Save $$$ cos downgrade size.
- Save $$$ cos 8 pages have only 2 pics instead of original 3 or 4 pics average. These pics will be about/ bigger than your original 3 or 4 pics in one 15R page.
- The "4 pics-in 1 page" add variety/ progression, the smallest would be about 4R size.
- Just eliminate 6 pics choices.
<U>Page Sequence:</U>
(4-in-1),(2-in-1),1,1,1,1,(2-in-1),1,1,1(pg.10),
(4-in-1),(2-in-1),1,1,1,1,(2-in-1),1,1,1(pg.20),
(4-in-1),(2-in-1),1,1,1,1,(2-in-1),1,1,1(pg.30),
(4-in-1),(2-in-1),1,1,1,1,(2-in-1),1,1,1(pg.40).
- Creates some progression and enough variety (if EVERY page is full pic, it's very monotonous).
If you know how much your BS charging itemised, easier for you to work out a package yourself, and to suit your budget. The above should be cheaper than your original (unless they charge in a strange manner I've not come across), yet look very good. HTHS
