HOW TO USE MIXBOOK

‘MIXBOOK’ is a website to create custome photo album books. In order to make a photo album, the user needs to create an account of his own or use the classroom account. Once the user is logged in, he can choose a design, add photos and text, and adjust anything to fit his needs. This website has clear descriptions on how to sign in and work with the creation of the photo book. MixBook has an ‘about mixbook’ link where the user can read about the site and what if offers. This website is up to date, the content is interesting and it is easy to use.

Once the user is logged in, he has to click on the ‘Create’ flap which will lead to a new page to start a new mix book. Here the user enters a title for the book and adds a description, tags and choose the category to which the book belongs.

After that, the user clicks on the link that says ‘Create MixBook’. This will take the user to another page to choose a size of the book. Mixbooks are free to create and share online, but if the user wants a printed version he will have to pay for it.

Once the size of the book has been chosen, the user is taken to a page where he will have to select a theme for the book. After clicking on the ‘choose theme’ link, a new page is opened to work on the book itself.

The user has many buttons to click on, but the first one should be ‘Add Photos’ in order to select the images which will be included in the album. Then the other buttons are ‘Layouts’, ‘Backgrounds’ and ‘Stickers’ which can be use to customize and change the way the book will look.

Finally, there are several links on the book itself. These links are named after the function they will cover, for example there is a ‘Click to insert Spine Text’ link which states clear what the user will be able to do if he clicks on it.

Mix book is a useful tool to make photo albums, calendars and cards on the web which are completely customizable. One of the advantages is that the user can create albums that are not static ones, the website offers freedom to design the creations and modify the content.
