Interior book design layout and typesetting— Many buyers will glance at a few pages of a book before purchasing it: if the overall layout is not easy on the eye regardless of how captivating the content, chances are the book will be placed right back on the shelf. Each page should be viewed as a harmonious component that flows within the overall creation of the book design. Careful attention must be given to the fonts, type size, line leading, justification and hyphenation settings. Any illustrations, and diagram must be skillfully incorporated into overall visual consistency of the pages. The layout and design of a book must suit the content. For example: a book for children will have a larger font than a technical textbook. Typestyles need to be selected for their readability and appropriateness for the book’s content. Screenplays, picture books, text -books, travel guides, and cookbooks all have different criteria. An ornate design with borders and script fonts is suitable for some books, while a simple, clean layout is appropriate for others: once again, consistency is key. The overall design should allow the reader to flow through the pages with ease and enjoyment. To get started—you will need to have your manuscript edited with no room for error as this affects the layout. The manuscript needs to be emailed in MS word or a similar word processing program. Your manuscript should clearly show chapters and sub heads, etc., and all contents of the book both front and back must be included. You should select a printer before beginning on your book interior formatting as this will aid. Indigo Design also offers typesetting services that create a synergy between the cover and interior content. Whether you are publishing your book yourself or printing en masse, Indigo can help make you book stand out on the shelf. Call now 954.760.9828
