Dividing up the content and creating thumbnails
- choosing which bits of the content should appear on which page and dividing it up as the concept of the publication is that the information is spread out to make it easier to understand, digest and refer back to
- drawing out thumbnail designs ready to create the publication in inDesign, making a rough plan of what I want each double page spread to look like
- drawing thumbnails to determine how many double page spreads will be included ready to make the inDesign document
Thumbnails for each double page spread:
Working out sizing and binding methods:
- I decided to go with Japanese binding as I already know how to do this, and it would mean I could add a cover to the outside to cover the binding.
- I decided the measurements for the publication should be 18cm in width and 16cm in height
- example of Japanese binding with a rough idea of how a cover could be attached over the top of the binding:
- mock up of book to see rough size and scale of publication:
