[Podcast] Why Does Design Matter in Our Family History Book?

Everyone has heard it: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” But people do. And while we believe words are the heart of a family history book, it’s the design—the cover, the photographs, the typography, the way each page breathes—that draws readers in, and keeps them turning pages.

In this episode of One Generation to Another, Dave and Melissa share five reasons why design matters in a family history book.

They discuss how thoughtful book design makes family stories more engaging, gives photographs and historical records room to shine, and helps turn a collection of scattered memories into a cohesive (and readable!) family keepsake.

If you're planning a family history book or considering a professionally produced legacy book, this episode offers a fresh perspective on why design deserves as much attention as the words themselves.
