Book Design? T'ain't Easy, Is't?

Update #13 · Feb 1, 2012 · comment

Well, no. It isn't. But — it really is quite a bit of fun. And that's what I've been doing — besides all the other things I have to do. And to help with all that I've hired a bright young fella to help with the book design called Sebastian Bettencourt. So that's a relief. We've been talking about the project for a couple of weeks and then he stopped by so we could sit down and look through the material. I pulled a ton of books of the shelf that  I found inspiring and some that I really didn't care much for and we started focusing in on some ideas and principles for the book.

And then he told me to start printing everything. And then he left.

So I've been printing everything.

I'm up to — about the beginning of March 2011? It just about filled the wall in the back studio. And I shot full through until — January 2012. And I'm sorta being picky.

It's going to take time. But it's moving forward.

Second bit — the 16x20 prints many of you selected are being printed right now. That's also a lot of printing. But you'll get those before long.

Okay. That's it. You can read more about the book design on the project blog here:

Oh, one more thing. For those of you who are expecting a print, please be sure to respond to a survey from Kickstarter asking for your preferred mailing address. Or, if you prefer, you can email me directly rather than shove your address into a database container somewhere that may crack and spill all over the information superhighway. Just send it to julian@helloskatergirl.com

Thanks.

Julian
