We’re Back….

We are back and refreshed from our Christmas break! It’s time to finish this book off and get it to the printers so we can finally see what we have all been working so hard towards.

Last year we were fortunate to have, Coel, a past participant who was from the original crew of Visionary Images come and join us for a couple of days. It was great to have him in the studio and participate, as he had been involved in many of the projects in the last 11 or so years. It was good to find out he’s thoughts and ideas with our layouts and how we are representing each project within the book, as it is important they are represented correctly.

Cheers Coel, we look forward to you visiting soon!

Learning about Grids

With the year wrapping up, I have been working on layouts making sure we are showing development work and final artwork for each project. It’s important to show the reader that within each project, ideas and experimenting with different mediums were used. While I am busy doing that, Marc is busy making sure the pages of the book flow with the use of a grid.

Inprint so far….

The book is coming along wonderfully… Marc Martin has joined the Inprint crew and I am learning heaps from him. He is helping us with getting the book in it’s final stages, then I will be sending it to Rachel who will get it ready to print. Very exciting!

Over the next few weeks we will be making some changes, ensuring that we are showing the process of each project and also cleaning up the layouts. We don’t want any dirty smudges on our lovely clean layouts.

I am super excited to start on the front cover as this is what will make customers (all of you out there) interested in purchasing this amazing, beautiful book.

I will keep you posted weekly with info on our book, Inprint.

Getting There

No time to post in the last few weeks, we’ve been busily laying out the last of the chapter headers and next week we are going to embark on the exciting adventure that is the cover.

Below are a few more of the chapter header layouts – they have been refined a bit from the last one we posted.

Chapter headers

Today we have been working on the books chapter headers again. Sorting back through the development work for each project and making selections which look at the story of how the project came about. This image is the chapter header layout for the Billboard project.

Long time coming

I’ve been away for 2 months, had a wedding that was great and was sick with the flu.

The book project is moving along quite well and I have met some new people at the studio that are nice.

holla.

My First Coffee

viinprint — Fri, 14 May 2010 05:50:29 +0000

Today at Visionary Images, we put together the layout for the book project. We also brain stormed ideas of what the book title would be, and what it would look like. I have to say, we did come up with some pretty great ideas.

To put together the layout we had to take down all the pages off the wall, and put them up again. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds, we forgot to add a few things onto the wall and had to take a couple of things down again. Then we realized we missed an important page at the start, we were all most finished! So we had to take them all down again and the put them up. While Bekk was helping out with the I did most of the dishes, then made my very first coffee with the coffee machine. Lets just say I’ve had better coffees in my time, although I think it was pretty good for my first coffee.

Until next time,

Chloe =]

Layout.

Today at visionary images, we began to discuss the front cover of the art book currently in process. Many ideas were created and written down, each very good ideas in their own way however nothing had been decided upon. Later, we began to sort through the pictures of the already created artwork; adding in the title pages, introduction, timeline, essays, index and photo credits to make the process look more like it would in the art book. We also pinned all the pictures of the artwork, in order onto the wall. A process which took at least an hour or less to do, including resorting through some of the pictures.
