A summer album in one afternoon
Before the routine returns, one afternoon at the big table: everyone picks five moments and the AI helps with the title, the chapters and the captions.
The book behind this articleWhile You Sleepfor the whole family Summer is ending and the photos will stay buried in the phone, like every year. Not this year: one afternoon, the big table, and out of it comes an album or a little paper zine. Each person picks their five moments, the AI helps with the words, and you bring the scissors and the glue.
Copy this and adjust it
We are making an album of our family summer. Each of us has picked five moments and I will describe them to you in short sentences. Suggest an order in chapters with funny names, a title for the cover and two caption ideas for each moment: one tender and one funny. We are two adults and two kids aged 5 and 9, so the humour has to work for the little ones too.- Anything counts as a moment: a storm, an ice cream dropped on the floor, the famous phrase of the summer.
- Print the photos at home or at a shop and build the album with card and glue.
- Close with an awards page: best cannonball, most heroic early rise.
FAQ
What if we do not want to print photos?
The format does not matter: a notebook with drawings, glued-in tickets and dried flowers works just as well. What matters is picking the moments together and having something on the shelf.
Can the AI make the cover too?
Yes, with an image tool you can generate a cover illustration from your description of the summer. The photos inside are best kept yours: that is the real memory.
