How I made my final book
Resizing an image 1. Open the image in Photoshop 2. Go to image and select image size 3. When it’s open you’ll be able see the resolution (this one is 72) 4. The resolution needs to be changed to 300 5. The longest side needs to be changed to 30 inches
Book Specifications These are the specifications blurb gives you to place in to Indesign to make the book. My specifications were for a 7x7 Small Square book with a Hardcover Imagewrap 20 pages of premium lustre or matt
Putting the book specifications in Indesign Here I placed all the specifications in to Indesign to create my document.
Creating a text box To create a textbook you need to click on the rectangle icon and then draw the box to size you wanted.
Adding Text To add text you need to click on text icon and then click on the box you just made. I used Euclid Flex EDU size 18 for my book because it was the one that looked most like something you woukd see childrens book.
Adding an Image To add an image in to the book you press the rectangle icon and draw a shape the size of the image you want. Then go to file and place and select the image you want.
Placing an Image in a shape To place an image in a shape you click on the rectangle icon and select whether you want a rectangle, ellipse or polygon. Then you draw the shape to the size you want Then go to file, place and select the image you want to go in the circle.
How to make a triangle As a triangle is not part of the 3 original shapes in the rectangle icon you have to take more steps to create it. Firstly click on the rectangle icon and draw any shape. I chose a polygon. Then while the object is selected go to object, convert shape and click triangle and it will become a triangle.
