Progress on Magritte Book

I have decided to tentatively go ahead with a black accordion book; black card stock is on order and I have spent my creative time today readjusting the book layout for a smaller page and converting the images and words to white on a black background.

Here is the PDF from InDesign (clean and perfect) and a screen shot (includes text boxes and guides, etc.)

You’ll also see my notes as to how I converted the images to white using the Bas Relief filter in Photoshop. It’s kink of a hack, but whatever - it’s coming out well, I think. I have a lot of work left to do, it appears…

I just realized that I can use the theme of Reversal for this whole shebang! I am not tied to the themes, but it’s cool when they work out.

  • That’s pretty cool. What sort of program is InDesign? I am not a Luddite (obviously, I am doing TAD) I am just hopelessly lost when it comes to technological options.
