Size
The standard
size for a Memorial Folder (Fig. 1) is 4¼ x 5½. The large size folder (Fig. 2) is 5½ x 8½.
The size normally is determined by the amount of information
you want to include, although you may select either size as long
as the text and photos will fit in the space. |

Content
Anything
within reason, can be used in the Memorial Folder. Normally
a photo will be on the front alone, or with the name and/or
dates (Fig. 3–1). A verse,
prayer, obituary, etc. usually will be on the inside left
page (Fig. 3–2). The
service information will be on the inside right page
(Fig.
3–3),
and any additional text can be included on the back (Fig. 3–4).
This is normally the way it is setup, but you can
set it up any way you would like... more than one photo or no photo, personal family poems or sayings
or goodbyes. Do it
the way you want it done. Make it personal to you and your family. |

The standard fonts
The
standard fonts we use for the folders are Bernhard
Modern, University Ornate, New Berolina, Georgia,
Verdana and Palace Script. If you have a specific
font you want to use, send us the name of the font
and a sample, and we will do our best to duplicate
it. |

Font Color
Any font
color can be used as long as there is enough contrast to make
it readable. Black is the standard color but if there is text
on the front with a photo, we try to match the font color with
the photo. |

Paper
The paper used for the Memorial Folder is a heavy weight
(65 lb cover), with linen pattern in an off white color.
Because the white areas of a photograph do not print, but
take on the color of the paper, anything other than white
or off white paper would distort the color of the finished
photograph. The folders are "printed" rather than copied
so you get much better color on the finished folder. |

Backgrounds
We can use colored backgrounds (see Fig 4), or we
have some standard scenic backgrounds depicting different sports and hobbies or mountain, ocean and beach scenes. We normally use backgrounds behind the verse/prayer (see Fig 5) or service information text, if you want to use them, or you
may use the backgrounds by themselves without any text at all. We will try to accommodate any ideas you might have for backgrounds or any other
"non-standard" items.

The Photos
The better
the photo quality, the better the end product. Professionally
done photos are usually the best, but most snapshots
are also acceptable. We will do the very best we can to make
sure the finished product is the best it can be. For more information
on photos see The Photo |
