A picture book combines visual and verbal narratives in a book format, most often but not always aimed at young children. The images in picture books use a range of media such as oil paints, acrylics, watercolor and pencil, pen and also photos.
A photo album, is a collection of photographs, generally in a book. Some albums have compartments which the photos may be slipped into; other albums have heavy paper with a sticky surface covered with clear plastic sheets, in which photos can be put. Older style albums often were simply books of heavy paper which photos could be glued to or attached to with adhesive corners, or pages.
Now we have that all cleared up. Thanks to Wikipedia for those decisive answers. At Silver Street Media our job is to assist you in your creation of the first one: the photo book. You can make your photo book look like the third one: a photo album if you want to. Heck, if you are good with a scanner and photoshop you could even make your photo book look a lot like the second one: a picture book.
With a little text and some good photos, you could turn your photo book into number two: a picture book. And with some of the layout templates on Silver Street Media.com you could make your photo book look like a number three: a photo album.
