It stood head and shoulders above any of the tutorials I found online, and took me every step of the way through the whole process. I recommend Book Design Made Simple to every new book designer, whether they are familiar with InDesign or not. It’s the ulti- mate resource on creating a book using InDesign.” —Lyle Litzenberger, author of Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide, Coquitlam, BC “Whether you are dreaming of publishing your first book or whether you are accomplished at book design, this promises to become the bible on book design. Book Design Made Simple covers so much more than the basics. From setting up the required software to practical advice and visuals of design and typography, how to obtain an ISBN and create a bar code to sending rock-solid press-ready files to the printer, this 500-page volume is truly a ‘must have.’” —Ernst Vegt, Coast Imaging Arts, prepress and color management professional, Comox, BC “Book Design Made Simple is a golden goose for designers, authors, and anyone who wants to create a book. The instructions for InDesign are a revelation; Glenna and Fiona publish coveted secrets for saving time and adding magic to projects. Even experienced design- ers will profit from Glenna’s and Fiona’s wealth of intelligence and knowledge. I highly recommend Book Design Made Simple. It will make beginners look professional and pro- fessionals look even better.” —rafael perez, book cover designer, Colonus Publishing, Sandy, OR “I recommend Book Design Made Simple. It is an excellent investment.” —Kevin M. Johnson, MD, designer of My Father, in Snow, Madison, CT “Book Design Made Simple presents a two-fold course in book design and production—the practical and the sublime. In a clear use of text and images the function and application of the power of InDesign is presented. Within this context the basics of good design and visual style—from page composition to typography—are offered in a manner that allows the reader to view options. This is not a recipe book, but a flexible process the reader may use to lay out the framework of a book. A perfect addition to the bookshelf of anyone who does multiple page layouts.” —Karen Shea, Karen Shea Design, Beverly, Massachusetts “Book Design Made Simple more than follows through on its title’s promise. This well- organized overview breaks down a very complex process with admirable clarity. If more people used this book, the publishing landscape would look a whole lot better.” —Peter Blaiwas, Blaiwas Graphic Design, Newburyport, MA “The language and design is so clear and friendly that you feel like the authors are sitting right next to you. Book Design Made Simple is a tool which will improve the quality of files that go to printers and increase reading enjoyment for everyone. It is the go-to resource for anyone intending to design a book.” —Jo Blackmore, Publisher, Granville Island Publishing, Vancouver, BC “In my entire career in publishing I have never seen the process of book design revealed in this way. With extraordinary patience, the authors have laid out every step and explained enough of the design and typographic niceties that 99% of users will find every answer they need right here. The self-publishing authors I work with will be very well served to get this book and use it!” —Jan Kardys, Chairman, Unicorn Writers’ Conference, Literary Agent, Unicornforwriters.com “For many of our self-publishing writers, Book Design Made Simple will be the right solution at the right time. The simple but thorough instructions are perfect for any non-techie design novice.” —Tracy Sayre, founder of Writers Work Writers’ Conference, New York book design made simple A step-by-step guide to designing and typesetting your own book using Adobe® InDesign® Fiona Raven • Glenna Collett 12 pines press vancouver, canada • boston, massachusetts Copyright © 2016 Fiona Raven and Glenna Collett All rights reserved.

To my mentor, Richard Bartlett ~ the first person to have faith in me as a designer. ~ Glenna • • • To my mum ~ the first self-publisher I ever knew, who took a flyer on an inexperienced book designer and launched my passion for book design. Thanks, Mum! This one’s for you. ~ Fiona • • • And to YOU, our readers, for inspiring us to write this book! We hope you’ll be equally inspired to make your own book look its best. ~ Glenna & Fiona Acknowledgments We owe a lot to many people for their help, encouragement, and advice. We are especially indebted to our first tester, Kevin Johnson, a doc- tor with no book production experience who wanted to design his sister’s book, Our Father, in Snow. He used our first draft to design the pages and cover of the book, with outstanding results. We learned from his questions and appreciated his insightful comments. The result is a book that is twice as long, with many, many more examples and more precise directions. Many thanks to Laurie Griffin and Erin Scullion for their thor- ough reading of the first draft. Renee and Mark D’Antoni of eBook DesignWorks graciously answered our questions and set us straight about some of the details of ebook conversion. Isobel Logan of EditFast generously explained the differences in usage of em dashes between North America and Australia. Brad Schmidt at Friesens offered technical expertise on prepress issues, and because of it we are confident that our directions are correct and up to date. And Wesley Raven was our hero in checking all of the hundreds of page references. Thank you! A huge thanks to our copy editor, Joanna Eng, who not only made over 1,200 corrections to our manuscript, but also meticulously tested our instructions. Your work made this book so much better. Our proof- reader, Dania Sheldon, corrected even more tiny inconsistencies through- out, and as a result, we are confident in presenting our words to the world. And finally, Katherine Stimson gave us a truly excellent index. For all of this work, we thank our outstanding production team. We are so grateful to those of you who helped us with different aspects of self-publishing: writing reviews, advising us on media kits, taking head shots, referring us to distributors, liking and sharing our social media posts, and, most importantly, recommending us and our book to all your peeps in the biz. (You know who you are!) Thank you. And finally, Glenna would like to thank her husband, George, for his patience as her work hours doubled during the writing of this book. And Fiona would like to thank her husband, Wes, her dad, Jack, and her sister- in-publishing, Jewelle, for their support and encouragement throughout. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!

  • Print Design Narrative
    Erin Gunter MIT 511 September 21, 2008 Print Design Criterion Document The five pages that I choose to redesign were the table of contents, the title page, a chapter beginning page, a flow chart (family tree) page pertaining to the story, and one page is from the middle of a chapter. The book that I chose was, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. This is a popular novel that is read in today’s classrooms. The reason why this book was chosen was due to its lack of a consistent and cohesive design. For a children’s book, the pictures and text are very boring. I originally purchased this book when I was in middle school, but the book has not changed in years, despite the fact that it is a popular children’s novel. The purpose of this redesign is to change the appearance of the book in hopes that with alterations, children will be more motivated to read the book. The following are the list of the different design criterion that I referenced when completing my redesign: BIAS AND OR/CULTURE: This is a fiction book written about a fantasy world. The novel does not exhibit any type of bias. The book is purely a work of fiction. It is not an opinion book and it does not try to push an opinion on someone else. The images and text that were used in the redesign are also free of bias. The constellation graphic and the clock are both relevant to the story in the book.

  • UK Book Cover Designs 1840-1880
    ‘Handsomely bound in cloth’: UK Book Cover Designs 1840-1880 Edmund M. B. King Introduction and background Fig. 1. Lithograph image of the interior of the British bookbinding establishment of Westleys & Clark issued by the Philadelphia lithographer P. S. Duval some time between 1842 and 1850. The contribution of decorated cloth designs to the history of the book in the mid-Victorian period is real. The catch phrase in my title ‘Handsomely bound in cloth’ was used endlessly in the publishers’ lists, which were frequently bound at the back of their books. The focus of this article is primarily upon UK designs blocked onto cloth, or those using papier mâché. Despite the temptation, the lure of straying into describing the designs on cloth of other countries, of the same period, particularly America, has been resisted.1 Excluded also are designs printed, engraved, or lithographed onto paper, which was then pasted onto boards. There is plenty of merit in such designs, but it is not possible to This paper is an expanded version of the Homee and Phiroze Randeria lecture, given to the Bibliographical Society on 19 May 2015. I am grateful to the Bibliographical Society for inviting me to give this lecture. I owe thanks to Mirjam Foot, who encouraged me to undertake the work of describing Victorian designs on cloth, and also to Paul Goldman, and Robin de Beaumont, who were similarly supportive as the research progressed. I am also most grateful to Philippa Marks, Curator of Bookbindings at the British Library, for her support over many years, and particularly with regard to the use of the Library’s online Database of Bookbindings.

New visual lan- guages have been created for information display which exploit the computer's unique ability to render dynamic and three-dimensional typography. These languages demonstrate that the use of three dimensional form, expressive movement, visual focus and layering, in harmony with human perceptual abilities, improve navigation and contextual understanding of complex written documents. This thesis shows that graphic displays can be combined with physical interfaces to create interactions with purely typographic informa- tion

  • Books About Music in Renaissance Print Culture: Authors, Printers, and Readers
    BOOKS ABOUT MUSIC IN RENAISSANCE PRINT CULTURE: AUTHORS, PRINTERS, AND READERS Samuel J. Brannon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Anne MacNeil Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter John L. Nádas Philip Vandermeer © 2016 Samuel J. Brannon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Samuel J. Brannon: Books about Music in Renaissance Print Culture: Authors, Printers, and Readers (Under the direction of Anne MacNeil) This study examines the ways that printing technology affected the relationship between Renaissance authors of books about music and their readers. I argue that the proliferation of books by past and then-present authors and emerging expectations of textual and logical coherence led to the coalescence and formalization of music theory as a field of inquiry. By comparing multiple copies of single books about music, I show how readers employed a wide range of strategies to understand the often confusing subject of music. Similarly, I show how their authors and printers responded in turn, making their books more readable and user-friendly while attempting to profit from the enterprise. In exploring the complex negotiations among authors of books about music, their printers, and their readers, I seek to demonstrate how printing technology enabled authors and readers to engage with one another in unprecedented and meaningful ways. I aim to bring studies of Renaissance music into greater dialogue with the history of the book.
