The Monochrome images along side the Polychrome images, serve to show what the grey figure is missing. Start from the Monochrome side and you will page through 50 Monochrome images, all horizontal, then 2 leaving/arriving images, these sets being the only vertical in the series, then a spiral of both 15 Polychrome and 15 Monochrome images, followed by another 2 leaving/arriving images.
BLURB BOOKS BOOKWRIGHT SERIES
Open the Polychrome side and you’ll get info on the Polychrome series and a background of to-scale Polychrome photo props. Open the book from the Monochrome side, and 3 pages in you’ll get info on the Monochrome series and a background of to-scale Monochrome photo props. Next comes the respective series info pages. Both artist info pages have hand written symbols. The one on the Polychrome side however (the traditional back of the book) has scanned, hand written text, outlining my writing of my artist name and signature. In this same vein, I placed a title page at the beginning and end of the book, each followed by an artist info page. I knew I wanted to make transitional coming and leaving images, with a suitcase for this, but needed each to read as just that – coming or leaving, so that they’d work in either direction whether from Monochrome to Polychrome or vice versa. I wanted the book to be able to be read of sorts either forward or backward. I then selected all pages and allowed for the master page template to be overwritten, so that I’d have each of my image slots available, but I could remove or resize them as necessary. I then went into InDesign and created a basic layout that I knew I was going to use for most pages as my master page template, I also added page numbers here. In my case, I first made sure I had all my photos saved as high resolution (300 dpi), properly sized jpegs (based on how large they’d be printed in the book). With either option, once downloading you select your book options – size, paper, cover type, page number (this can be an estimate and updated later), and then get to work.
BLURB BOOKS BOOKWRIGHT DOWNLOAD
You can either download their software, or a plugin for Adobe InDesign. Working with Blurbīlurb has a couple different book layout tools you can download to guarantee that your book will fit their standard book sizes. However, if a self-published art book if what you’re aiming for, Blurb is the way to go. I will say, if you intend to publish a text-based book, I would most certainly recommend Amazon CreateSpace instead of Blurb. I believe there were further reasons as well, but I won’t focus too hard on this for the purposes of this post. However, Amazon doesn’t allow for the same quality when it comes to printing high resolution photos on appropriate paper, and Lulu ships to much fewer countries. In each of these instances I tried to find print and cost saving alternatives which largely led to Amazon and Lulu.
I’ve always wound up using Blurb, whether for my photo books or for my art magazine I produced for 2 years. Blurb allows for print on demand publishing which was a must for me. Choosing a Publishing Platformįirst, as you’ve seen in the title, I used for this task. I received a couple questions as to how I produced the book, so I I hope this post will give those of you curious your answers, but I’d also like to use the opportunity to explain my thoughts and concept behind what I included, and what I did not.
BLURB BOOKS BOOKWRIGHT PROFESSIONAL
However, this is the first I’ve produced for my work in my professional life, and I’d like to think it has more substance to it. I made books for my Italy Souvenirs series, my senior project, the Toy Photographers 2017 yearbook, and a fourth that I can’t quite remember. This isn’t my first go round as I had to get books printed for multiple college photo projects, and used the same platform for felan. As many of you know by now I just self published an art book.
