DESIGN is a creative discipline that involves processes different from craft work.

A design project should follow these procedures:

1. Firstly, study what the consumer needs.

2. Examine the product demand and do an economic study.

3. Do market research of similar products.

4. Think about ideas you want to express.

5. Make sketches, drafts, models and prototypes.

6. Decide the materials you need.

7. Complete the technical design: make drafts in perspective

with measurement showing how to make it.

REMEMBER:

TIPS for effective book pages

Let’s have a look at some of the ins and outs of designing beautiful and functional book pages.1. Keep the margins roomy. A nice, roomy

margin all the way around the page makes the book feel more inviting, allows the reader to hold it comfortably, and leaves space for notes or marks.

2. Choose readable fonts. Don’t be afraid of being “boring.” When you read, you should see the words, not the font. You can always add spice by choosing a livelier font for your cover, title page, chapter titles, and other accents.

3. Use a comfortable type size and leading (thespace between lines).

TIPS for effective book pages

4. Justify your text.

5. Indent the first lines of paragraphs. The

beginnings of new paragraphs should always

be easy to see on the page. Indenting the

first line will usually do the trick.

6. Don´t forget the special details that make

the book memorable and unique.

7. Give chapter openings special treatment.

Don’t forget the heading that appears above

the main text block on every page.
