POLAROID ALBUM

Polaroid Album is a 3D-printed modular album for instant photos. The green shell is the structure. White relief panels snap onto the cover as a theme. An orange window sits in the center. Change the panels, keep the photos inside.

Most albums are either a plain sleeve or a finished object you cannot restyle. We wanted a printed album that holds Instax prints and lets the cover theme change without reprinting the whole book.

1. 01

   Design the shell around Instax Mini thickness, with room for a center window.

2. 02

   Make the four cover panels as separate relief prints so themes can swap.

3. 03

   Keep orange accents as the movable and visual cues: corners, window, and hinge details.

Early covers were one solid print. Themes could not change. Splitting the face into four panels fixed that, and the orange corner posts keep alignment.

Green holds the book. White panels carry the theme: pets, travel, games, and more. Orange marks the window and the corners. Everything prints. No screws.
