A WORD ABOUT PAGE DIMENSION

Above and beyond the basic idea the thing I first decide is format, what size the book will be. My first book was 6.25x10.5. Thats the dimension of a single trimmed page. My next project was a more square 9x10.5.

This one I would like to do a much wider format, almost like a pananvision kind of ratio so I'm going to start with a rough dimension of 10x8.5 (horizontal dimension first, vertical second) to give me a lot of page to work with. This is just a rough idea and its no big deal to change later if the format doesn't work when I start producing artwork.

Using this basic idea I'll start to sketch in this over wide format and see how that goes, I have only a couple of ideas for page spreads but its enough to get on with for now.

I'll post some of the first sketches up later when Blogger gets it shit together, it seems to be choking right now.
