Yes, it's really mind boggling how those flaps can create impossible problems! I did a few and trying to get all the bits to tie in together can be a challenge.
Of course with new ebook apps it's the same... only electronic.
really great work here!
I'm working on books with die cut shapes on the pages and cover...that's a bit mind stretching to do too! :0)
Wonderful! And the book dummy certainly makes it easier to really get a grip on the composition and "workings" of the book.
Thanks for sharing your process. :)
Very cool! And mock-ups definitely help. I do them for greeting cards, however, those flaps look a little more challenging. Do you design the art that's on the opposite side of the flap in a separate file? Then, print, cut and glue it on there? Just curious.
Julissa: I had to design the shapes of the flaps and also the art of the back of the flaps. The final files were just the flaps on separate layers in a psd. The art director mocked up the dummy for me, they did manually print, cut, and glue the flaps!
A fascinating post - such fun to see the process involved. "Lift-the-flap" books will never be replaced by "click on the flap" books...it's just so much more fun to lift a real flap, isn't it?
