As another week came by, we began creating our test prints and final booklets. As I was printing my book, I realised how important it was to experiment with the type of paper and the thicknesses I’d like to use in order to make my book as aesthetically pleasing and informative as possible. I used two different thicknesses of paper, the thicker size was used for the cover page and the thinner one was used for the pages inside. I did this to give my a booklet a professional feel, because using normal printer paper just wouldn’t do the same. I also chose to glue bind my book in order to make it look neater and more professionally bound. I then made some finishing touches to my digital booklet on InDesign, such as adding scanned images, adjusting the font size in paragraph styles, the placement of the page numbers, and alleviating all the errors in the error panel. This process helped me gauge a better understanding of my formatting skills. I also got to learn how Big of a role Indesign plays in exacting your desired format and helping you create projects as accurately as possible. Below is the final copy of my booklet, printed:
