disaster
Well, I ordered my mock book on lulu yesterday, and in doing so, realised that I have chosen a page size that I wont be able to get bound in the type of binding that I want. I want to get my book bound using the 'perfect bound' method, and I realised I can only get that with my current page size if I have over 68 pages. I only need 32 pages. So! I ordered my mock book anyway, as I need to see how the colours come out etc. but now I need to change my page sizes to a size which can use the binding method that I want. Can' t belive I've been so stupid. I thought I had checked everything like that when I chose the page size. Oh well, I just need to get over it and get on with it. I have had a look at the other possible page sizes, and alot of them, I feel are too tall and narrow, where as I prefer wider books. (thats why I liked my original page size as it was tall but wider than normal.) I have had a look at what my images would look like using square pages, and I think they work quite well. I might try another size aswell just to have a comparison. I have been working on the individual scened pages too, after having a tutorial with Salvatore, who gave me some brilliant advice on how to handle these pages.

You've done a good job of adapting to the new page size here. I think it works well too, it leaves more room on each page for elements to be spread across as well. I'll look forward to your comparison format too. :)
ReplyDeletethank you :) just doing them now
ReplyDeleteOh no! Something like this happened to me on the last project, it's really disheartening. The square pages look good though I think. Better than the narrower comparison in your next post and it's a nice size for a childrens picture book. Good job you realised now rather than later!
ReplyDeleteoh no really? it was quite a sad moment when i realised! but yeah im glad it was now rather than when i was ordering my final book :)
ReplyDeleteah thanks for the opinion on the page sizes... yeah i prefer the square too, think I'm going to use it. Thank you! :)
