I believe this is the first time I am checking in for the Fall semester. I accepted a (non-design) position two days before the semester started and my schedule has been busy, busy, busy. Originally I envisioned myself being joyfully unemployed and had scheduled five classes for the semester. I have since dropped two of the classes in order to have breathing room (which I now have a bit). So, hello.
I've been assigned the task of created a book. That's right, a real live book, from copy, to style, to binding, to printing....the whole shabang.
I decided to begin at the end first. So, I've been online, on the phone and in person visiting w/ printers, binderies and paper distributors. There is so much to know. I've allowed the available materials and the talents of others to dictate (only just a bit) which way my content will flow. Now, I am ready to begin execution of my concept.
I'm in the midst of laying out page one in InDesign and am getting more and more excited by the minute. I cannot wait to see the final project.
I'll keep you posted.
