About the final project for: Editorial Design: Concept, Editing, and Materials

Editorial Design: Concept, Editing, and Materials

“Now that we are at the end of the course, I hope you have enjoyed the journey. I wanted to thank you for making it this far and for spending your time with me. It's time to share your creations and show the progress of your project. Comment on how you did it, talk about the challenges and difficulties you faced and how you overcame them. In short, share your experience. I want your project to be different from mine. Repeat what I do to learn, but when it comes to making your project to publish, create something unique. This enriches our creative community. Gather your images and share your project by clicking on the "Create your project" button. Your post will become part of your portfolio on Domestika. Your portfolio is your showcase to the world to show your talent. Remember that explaining the project is crucial, not just showing photos. Here are some links to help you get organized: Support link 1 Support link 2 These are my recommendations: 1. Review the material you have to carry out your project. Organize it into groups that have meaning for you, such as colors, sizes, type of images, etc. 2. With this material, imagine the type of book you would like to have in your hands and carry out trial and error exercises with all the ideas that come to you when designing your proposals. 3. Print the proposals you like the most in full size, analyze them and choose the one you feel most comfortable working with. Trust your intuition. 4. Play with your design and use some surprises like: foldouts, inserts, changes of paper color, size, anything is good. 5. Finally, create the front of your book: the cover. Since you already know all the images very well, you know which ones can have the best result for what you want to communicate. I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work. After all, we will help each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! See you at the forum!”
