GRM 24 – Week 5
Posted on February 14th, 2013
Our class has decided to create a book on publishing and prepress, covering each topic area in a separate chapter that is presented in such a manner that a child could understand.
Possible topic areas for our book project:
- substrates, papers and paper finishes
- printing processes and types of printers – Myriam
- print finishes – Paul
- bindery and binding methods – Kara Keeler
- color models – Robert Pearson
- bleeds – Robert Pearson
- folds – Kara Keeler
- imposition – Joshua
- rasters and vectors – Paul
- resolution – Joshua
- 4-color process / spot colors – Kara Edwall
- image capture devices – Kara Edwall
- font formats – Maria
- image file formats – Monica
- Acrobat – Myriam
- measurement systems – Michelle
- copyright and trademarks – Maria
- proofreaders symbols – Monica
- proofing methods
- glossary of terms – Michelle
Can you think of other topics that should be included in our book? Each student must choose two topics to write and illustrate.
Tonight we will create a template that will be the basis for each student’s chapters. We will all create documents with the same page size, margins and automatic page numbering. We will also work on some dummy layouts to prepare for creating our book in InDesign.
Your chapter of the book is Due April 25th, 2013 for the first proofing.
