Key Process: Page Design and Typesetting
When creating the interior of your book, there are two key steps: Page Design and Typesetting. Let’s break down each step to help you understand the process.
Step 1: Page Design Process
The Page Design process is about shaping the overall look of your book’s interior pages. This includes choosing the right trim size, setting the margins, and selecting the best fonts and sizes for the body text. It’s also about deciding how to design the various elements in your manuscript that need attention, such as:
- Chapter numbers and titles
- Lists, photos, and graphics
- Image captions, tables, charts, and pull quotes
- Sidebars and any special design elements
Once we’ve created a design draft, we’ll send it to you for feedback and approval. After you’re happy with the design, we move to the next step: Typesetting.
Step 2: Typesetting Process
In the Typesetting stage, we take the approved page design and apply it to your entire book. This means we format (or typeset) your book page-by-page, from beginning to end. After typesetting, you’ll receive a proof that shows exactly how the final printed pages will look. This is your chance to review the design and suggest any changes.
Once you’ve reviewed the proof and made any necessary edits, we finalize the design and prepare a print-ready file for your printer. By the end of the typesetting process, your book will be ready for production!
In short, page design focuses on the layout and visual elements of your book, while typesetting involves formatting the text and finalizing the design for printing. Both steps are crucial to ensure your book is polished, professional, and ready for your readers.
