- 5x7 page, 10x7 spread, or could be doubled in size
- 15 point font
- Currently sits at 24 pages with having some pages as full text
I've sent another couple reminder posts out for people to keep responding to the form. I want it to have way more prints in it but I most likely won't get enough text for that. So I'm thinking I can have some spreads throughout that are just prints. It'll allow me to have more imagery in there while also making sure I'm not pairing any single print with any single line of text.
page numbers.
ReplyDeletetop margin can (should!) be less than bottom margin, so maybe you can fit page numbers (folios) at bottom, center.
might be alternatives, e.g.,. the // markers between testimonies could be something else, e.g., numbers (if so, different typeface — Gill Sans, bold?) and probably a different color (red? to rhyme with the visuals?).
why page numbers ? so that the different testimonies can be referred to, individually (i.e., "that starts at page 8"); also, they sort of say, "this is a book" not a something that isn't really conceived as a book (i.e., a marketing or advertising device).
and there'll need to be front matter (half title, title, a preface? or afterword? that might include acknowledgement of the anonymous women who provided their stories, some contextualizing, etc etc).
looking good.
of course, I wonder about the size and aspect ratio... and even if too many words on a page... lots to think about... 5x7 sounds a bit generic… is it ideally suited to the text, and to the generally elongated (vertically) illustrations?
