Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

SOCIAL MEDIA | A Guide To The Networks
Twitter
!
A network for opinions, discussions about your
industry, and pop culture. It’s very much like
highschool. You kind of have to find your niche
group. For us it’s design/tech.
18. Facebook
!
This is more for family/friend interactions, but if you
keep people apprised of projects you’re working on, or
share links to new posts on your website, it’s a great way
to remind your family and friends that you’re a designer
accepting new clients.

you and your brand.

@get_hoodzpah #gettinbizy
• Centered subject.
• Off-center subject (rule of thirds).
• Use negative space to create interest.
• Consider sight lines (do the lines on the
environment lead to the main subject?).
• Focus. If you’re using your iPhone, make sure you
tap to focus before taking the shot.

30. Ain’t nobody do it like my clique
You all have talented and connected friends. They’re
you’re allies and your avenue to potential clients. Tag
them in posts, give them shout outs when they’re
working on cool things. It’s likely they’ll do the same for
you when you launch something. Also, it positions you in
the eyes of others. You are who you hang out with.

Don’t just say “love your work!” or “let’s collaborate!”. It’s

checking in at the Rose Bowl swapmeet. Start checking
in at your favorite stores. Start getting into circles.
36. SOCIAL MEDIA | Tips & Tricks
Beware of the Tumblr feed creep.
Tumblr belongs on tumblr. Don’t turn YOUR social media
presence into a tumblr of other people’s work. Post your
@get_hoodzpah #gettinbizy
work and be authentically you.
37. Don’t try to be someone you’re not.
Be yourself! Create work that’s authentic to you. You’re
more likely to get clients you’ll vibe with if you’re honest.
