designing a book of designers

Project Overview:

You will research a designer in your area of interest and create a two double-page spreads (four pages that are two sets of facing pages) about that designer including text and images. You will be using In-Design for your book design, and you should bring your laptop with In-Design to each class period.

Later in the project, your instructor will assign groups of 6-7 students who will combine their articles for a small book that includes each student's two-page double spreads. Each student will also create a Table of Contents and Title Page for their own book. Once the spreads have been combined and sequenced, each student will have Jayhawk Ink print and bind the book. For their copy of the book, each student will also create a jacket that shows the front and back covers and two inside flaps. The final book (sequenced, printed, bound, and jacket) will contain the same content for each member of the group, but will have a unique Jacket, Title Page, and Table of Contents. The completed book is due during your class sections meeting time during Finals Week.

Technology: Adobe CS5 In-Design (bring your laptop to class each period)
