Lucy Week – 14: Finalising Book Layouts and Sending Book

This week we planned to have the book ready to send off of either Wednesday or Thursday. I started with organising my images into pages and save them out as jpegs. These would then be ready to go into the Blurb program where text can then be added. Below is an example of one of the double page spreads (DPS)

This took a couple of days to organise and I then went on to design chapter pages which were gonna be a splash page. These are the finals for both the character and environment chapter pages.

 Once we had our individual pages sorted it was tiime to write a preface each as well as a joint foreword alongside a foreword from our tutor Mike Kelly. We came up woith a simplictic designs that still followed the themes of the books artwork.

We then were ready for the send off and on Thusday the 7^th of May we sent our book. It was due to arrive on or before the 19^th of May, so this gave us a good space of time to make sure we hae the book ready for hand in.
