Book Design

Senior Project

For my senior project, I set out to create a pop-up interactive book about food. I used paragraph and character stylesheets in InDesign to maintain consistent fonts and colors. This project provided me with valuable insights into the connection between flat and 3D designs, book layout formatting, and color coordination.

Standard Book Design

One of my book projects showcases standard book formatting created in Adobe InDesign. I designed the book cover, including the spine, to create a continuous landscape when the book is opened. In the document, I used facing pages with accurate margin and bleed sizes to avoid overlapping into the internal spine of the book when printed. To adhere to the standard book layout, I chose left-aligned justified paragraphs and a leading size to make it convenient for readers to read between the lines.
