What are Scott Kivowitz's signature techniques for album design using Zno Designer?

Start from the client story, not the software: Build from a curated set of images that tells the narrative of the day, then let layouts support that story instead of cramming every photo in.

Use autofill as a starting point, not the final design: Let Zno Designer pre-build the album, then refine spreads, adjust crops, and swap layouts for stronger visual flow.

Keep spreads clean and consistent: Favor simple, smart layouts, white space, and consistent margins over heavy graphics so the photos stay the hero.

Integrate proofing early: Use the Album Proofer to get comments and approvals before ordering, reducing back-and-forth and surprise changes.

Think ahead to print and add-ons: Design with the final product in mind—cover choices, parent albums, and boxes—so the whole experience feels cohesive.
