Frederico,
I think it is what is most pleasing to you that should be the deciding factor. All the layouts are fine and will present your material very nicely. My personal preference (and I emphasize personal because it is entirely subjective based on what pleases my sense of perspective) is layout number 2. That is probably because I like frames around the material (did I mention I also collect art and once directed an art gallery?).
I really enjoyed the pages of your collection you shared and would like to see more!

I like #2 as well. I like having the white. Those that have too much black are a bit too severe, for my sense of aesthetics.
Rrr...
I like number #3 better. Having a separate piece of paper for each description allows you to easily move things in your own album. It also allows someone who is paging through the album to read only about the cover that interests them the most.
Federico,
I think it is asked too much from us (certainly from me) to open all the links. We have an easy picture upload function called "upload image" at the bottom of the message window which allows you to insert pictures into your message.
Your message will get a lot more responses.

I thought that the direct link would be better. So the page will probably open more quickly.
I make a try and upload a picture instead of the link.
Thanks
Federico
Let's try a little 'to see if I can get to see the images.
I cut the cards blacks the right size.
I have two types of sheets available:
- cream color without grid.
- cream color with crosshatching.
They are probably the most beautiful without grid, but editing is obviously more complicated.
I prepared two versions:
- single description
- with two descriptions.
The descriptions that you see in the photos are examples only, must be changed.
For descriptions I used two types of paper: white and cream color.
If the pieces in the collection are as small as postcards or envelopes, I can fit 2 pieces on each sheet.
If no further description is needed for each piece, they insert only one at the top.
Otherwise 2 descriptions for each page.
This is the final result. It might go well? Of course I'll use a protective sheet of plastic.
After I will set an example for particular pieces, such as picture postcards.
Thanks
Federico
Here are some examples for picture postcards. The locations are different, but only serves as an example.
There is the part with the cancellation and the one with the picture.
Hiding the image is a real shame, because it removes some of the history.
So you can mount on the same page as the front of the postcard and a color copy of the back where there is cancellation.
They can be mounted on the same black cardboard, or on two different cards.
You can also enter only new postcards with images of the country or the Post Office.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Good morning everyone.
Begin to arrive the first pieces for my collection.
Now I would like if possible to have your opinion on setting up the assembly.
To give an example, this is one of my albums of Inflation postal history:
http://www.mrinfla.it/infla/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/montaggio-6.jpg
and that an album with special cancellations in Wurttemberg:
http://www.mrinfla.it/infla/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/montaggio-7.jpg
I use only safe material and have many new sheets available (cream colored with black trim or black with golden frame).
The collection specializes in cancellations, then insert predominantly envelopes, postcards, picture postcards, fragments, or something similar.
It must of course be present a short description of each page that describes the type of cancellation. In some cases, insert a description for each piece.
The description is the strip of blank white paper.
To complete the historical picture in the future, I will insert some photos and map.
Also add copies of this book, at least by location reported.
http://www.mrinfla.it/infla/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/montaggio-8.jpg
I have done 5 tests, very rough, just to get an idea.
I repeat that the photos are very rough, they serve only to understand the final result.
I made an example by mounting two pieces with cancellation Hamburg PA. Machine cancels.
Which do you prefer? The number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?
Do you have any suggestions for me?
