Continue: Multiple page publication

Here is edited text for story on sample pages:

Shorter version text

Make sure that the design of the samples pages is complete:

• Follow margins, use guides.
• The design for title, author and paragraphs (1 and 2, etc) should be finalized

• Consider text transitions or lead text /drop caps/raised caps
  for the first paragraph. How does these affect first words?
• Indents for next paragraph (should not be too big)
• folios (page numbers>centered or outside)
• add a running head/footer if you want to have one.
  Usually the name of the book.
• The text is now divided in three main categories (chapters). Jewelry, Eclectic, Photos. Create a chapter Opener.

I also created a chapter opener for the section called Jewelry.

Below, I created a different version too

PARTICIPATION ACTIVITY During class
FINALIZE these pages today during class.

Once DONE you will generate STYLE sheets. You will have to consider left and right style sheets if the pages mirror each other.

Topics

NEW: Multiple page publication

We first need the text for printed publication: PRICELESS
Each one of us will provide a short original story.

Please refer to Class 9 for examples. If you are yet to do. SEND TEXT NOW.

We will create a small publication, and will handle a larger amount of linked body copy. This will include headings and paragraphs.

We will start designing a SAMPLE page once we have all the copy available today.

Create a document 5.5 x 8.5 with 3 pages.

The margins are up to you. Usually a little bigger at the bottom.

Decisions regarding margins vary. Sometimes these depend on the number of pages and binding.

DRAFT TEXT is here to download and use during class

These are examples of a left (verso) and right (recto) spread.

Creating Sample Pages with the longest of every element
We do this by first evaluating the manuscript. WHY?

Take note of all typographical elements that you encounter as you look at all the pages of the text.

Select the longest (in quantity/actual characters):

The longest title

The longest name

The longest story

Once you have selected these. Then you are ready to design your sample pages

Choose typography: Title, name, narrative (body copy)

Consider text transitions (start of text).
Indents
