In this session, Ginger Marks will demonstrate the differences between non-professional and professional book design. She will cover the basics of proper formatting for each of the different types of layout including all three major digital layouts. Each attendee will come away with a resources list for obtaining photo images and recognize the importance of properly attained permissions for their use.
As we explore book layout and cover design we will uncover the nuances of attractive design, how to determine what type of cover design to use to best showcase and market their book, and the effective use of the back cover as a marketing tool.
At the end of this session and when applying what was learned, you will be able to:
- Correctly format for each layout type.
- Identify resources for cover photos.
- Recognize the difference between an effective, attractive book and its counterpart.
Mark your calendars for:
- Friday August 8th, either of three Friday workshops: Children’s Book, Fiction Writing, or Non-Fiction Educational Sessions.
- Saturday, August 9th, FAPA Fall Conference
- Saturday evening, August 9th, 2014 FAPA President’s Awards Banquet.
