Great book and thanks for unboxing it with us. I wish you would have included some valuable information regarding the details of your book e.g. the type of paper you used, how many pages are in it, how many pages you think you need and also would have been good to see the beginning and ending pages to see how you laid it out. thanks
"Books are the greatest" - couldn't agree more!
Just getting started with book making. Great to hear your comments on the lay flat.
Hi Jared, I spent the evening with you and was thrilled to see the finished Blurb flat book and behind the scenes trade book. The comparison was informative. You really helped by sticking to a fairly long form format. I found it good to have the steps explained in a clear deliberate way. You obviously put a lot of time and thought into your work and this came across in the quality of what you produced. You have inspired me to get on with my projects and complete them. Thank you and I wish your business continued success.
I really enjoy Jared's style and wait eagerly for his next creative Live series!
Thank you for this series. I've ended up watching the final episode, first. Saved the series in my library to watch later in the correct order. Thanks Jared: stunning work and I love the idea of a companion book to the art work - keeps the images as the main focus. Thanks Blurb for this series.
Hi,
Very nice description of the process of making photobooks with Blurb! I will certainly try it with my photos...
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing. Now I'm sure where I want to print my coffee table book!
Thanks for posting this. I needed to see what the big book looked like. I don't know if I'll need the lay flat book, but I want the extra large size for my drawings and photos when I'm ready to publish my art journal. Knowing what the big book looks like in a person's hands helps me to know that the pages are large enough for my work in any orientation. I already know Blurb makes good books. 😊
What paper paper type did you use for the lay flat book?
Jared, great videos on creating books with LR. Just wondering - do you crop photos ahead of time to fit the book you are planning? You did not with the 0 Degrees book, but would it make sense to do so?
Excellent stuff, very useful. However, neither in this video nor in the Bookwright tutorial one do you talk about an extremely important variable here - sharpening. Have you done some kind of output sharpening on a raw or tiff first of all? Have you then done some kind of output sharpening for the book and, if so, what method and by how much?
I noticed in your Bookwright tutorial you did a lot of re-scaling within the software itself - if you sharpened, especially output sharpened, for one size and then radically changed the size in the software, that could have a substantial effect on the quality of the sharpening in the printed book. So, it is better to resize/re-crop the image to the desired see and sharpen first before importing into Bookwright, for example?An issue , after all, with this kind of publishing of one's photos is wanting them to be neither under sharpened or over sharpened.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. Cheers.
Why didn't you add the title to the spine?
how much was that layflat book?
It might be worth warning the viewers that the postage for the UK is ludicrously prohibitive. To order a book via LR is vastly more expensive than via the Blurb software. I wonder why that is. All in all, Blurb will not be my choice.
