INSTRUCTIONS

Technical Issues: My laptop was damaged by water and I've sent it to the technician here, it is still not fixed yet, I’ve tried my best to redo everything and include what is needed to be submitted. I am trying my very best to complete all my tasks of ALL MODULES in the library everyday (it only opens until 1pm on Saturday and closed on Sunday), so I do not have enough time to master all my tasks and e-portfolio.

PROJECT 1

Layout Reference

We have to look for layout references for our book before we start doing it. Below are the references I found:

Figure 1.0 Layout Reference(1)

Figure 1.1 Layout Reference(2)

Then, we have to decide our own grid system.

Figure 1.2 Grid and Guides

The typeface I chose for my book is:

Headline: Arial Bold

Body Text: Sinhala Sangam MN Regular

Subtext, Pull Quote: Helvetica Bold

Below is the tryouts of first page to the end of first chapter:

Test Prints:

After showing my test print to Mr Vinod, he pointed out some errors made in the book, eg. there are repeated pages(this was the printing shop's mistake), there are widows and orphans, kernings are not done well, page numbers, barcode and references page are missing, spacing error etc.

I then made corrections and adjustments to the final book.
