Exploit new technology and get into print In this unique title Chris Dickie guides the reader through the various stages and decision-making processes involved in the making of a photobook, step-by-step from image selection to selling the finished book. The way in which digital technology has revolutionised the publishing process is explained in depth: the costs and merits of the various print production options are compared and contrasted, and advice is offered on which route to take according to the scale and nature of your project. Topics covered include alphabetically: Approaching publishers • Binding styles • Book specification • Booktrade distribution • Buying print • Colour management and profiling • Commercial publishers • Cover preparation • Dealing with text • Design approaches • Desktop publishing • Duotone preparation • E-books & artists’ books • File compression • Finding a printer • Font types • Format choice • Funding, sponsorship & bursaries • Graphics arts & printing terminology • Grid preparation • How to get an estimate • How to get an ISBN • Image file preparation • Internet print services • Litho versus digital print • Modern print economics • Money matters • On-demand digital print • Paper choice • PDF output • Picture editing • Planning & Imposition • Print processes • Proofing • Royalties • Self-publishing • Sequencing images • Small print runs • Software choices • Template-based design • Typography & typesetting • What it will cost How to Make & Publish a Photobook is not a software manual: it gathers together all manner of hard-to-find information that, until recently, was the sole preserve of the publishing professional, and it offers this insider information to today’s self-publisher.
