Book Mock Up

August 16, 2020 in Surfaces and Stratagies

I was unable to get InDesign or any other software to print in booklet format successfully. In the end, I had to print the pages individually and glue them together. I’ve found creating the mock-up very satisfying. Taking the book from a computer screen to something you can touch and see how the images interact with each other. I had used a few double and partial page spreads and found them to be a successful way of displaying the photos.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I have read and digested many books this term and I now have a new fascination in how the books are constructed. It could become a very expensive hobby as many of them handmade and in very limited editions. I find each time I revisit any book the more you learn from it. As soon as I saw Stickybeak with white binding, I question how long would it stay in this pristine condition.

My WIP is presented in a book format and will grow to form part of my FMP. During this course, I have become very aware of the importance of the printed page. I will explore the use of inserts, the type of paper used, and how they are bound and will be an essential part of my submission.

I have been struggling with being able to print correctly in Indesign. I am creating an A5 book but finding that the final print has pages upside down. I have looked and relooked at the settings, watch several video tutorials, updated the firmware for the laserjet and reinstalled the printer drivers but to no avail.

I haven't discovered what this means and think I need to ask Laura. All I can say this is one of the best books I found so far. The attention to detail in its construction is beautiful, and the content even better. The front cover has a profile that has the texture of rubber, and the cover itself is made from a weaved material. Internally the pages have a rough feel slightly like a newspaper but thicker— exquisite design.
