My bestie from Vancouver is coming to crash at our

My bestie from Vancouver is coming to crash at our place for a few days next week and I’m soooooo excited. I can’t wait to have a couple of WFH buddies and even more excited to have a few days of brewery hopping, Halloween treats and catching up! TBT to that time I got to work with her (the one and only @t_cap @tristacapitano) on some branding illustrations for @theselfpublishingagency! Working with a friend who is also an amazing design and art director was so much fun. I came across these old versions the other day and I love seeing the same work rendered in so many different ways, based on her direction and the mood we were going for.

#ID: rough illustration of an overhead desk scene with two hands on either side of the table holding cappuccinos. There are papers, notebooks, pens and glasses spread out over the table. There are inky looking shadows below the roughly sketched elements to give depth to the drawing. The tones are washed out yellows and blues. In the second image, there are 6 variations shown of the colours and vibrancy of the same illustration.

This is a scene that I try to visualize while I’m designing books. I imagine your readers having a moment of calm, in a safe and cozy place where they can be fully in the moment with your story, where no nagging thoughts or tasks are creeping in. I’m always thinking of ways I can honour your work, by ensuring the interior design keeps your readers lost in your words.

It’s a very exciting time of year for trade book publishing! At Arsenal we’re kicking off the cover design phase for all the upcoming fall 2022 books… and that means I get to read a bunch of wonderful manuscripts and connect with authors. The first design consult is so much fun and so rewarding. I love listening to people talk about their work! Needless to say you’ll probably find me reading at some point this weekend… and I may or may not have a glass of wine in my hand!

ID: a photo of a table with a blue and cream seersucker style table cloth. A striped ceramic vase is full of white and yellow dried flowers grasses. A book with a bright yellow cover is propped open, face down on the table. A stemless glass of red wine sits beside the book. In the foreground there is an old style wooden chair peaking into the frame. Beyond the table is a window that looks out onto a wooden railing and trees that are blurred out in the background.

Episode 24. The importance of involving your desig

Episode 24. The importance of involving your designer in printing decisions. “I’ve seen some strange things get quoted.” Let us help you save time and headaches by getting print quotes for you and liaising with printers. Your designer is your print expert so lean on us to handle the printing discussions. When we aren’t in direct contact with the printer, things can get missed, specs can be quoted wrong and this can all create delays in your timeline. As always, you’re part of the process, so you won’t be left out of the print discussions we have with the printer and we can share stock samples with you to ensure you’re making an informed final choice! Having us part of the discussion will really help you feel confident with those big decisions since as an author, no one is expecting you to know all the nitty gritty ins and outs of book printing! If you do have any questions about printing, drop us a line below or in our DM’s!

Correction: I meant to say web and offset, not sheetfed and offset (those two things mean the same thing… see what I mean?! So many printing details!)
