Advanced Potions Making

[demiguel.m]

Are you a graphic designer? I ask because you may want to follow a medieval page layout. It will look much more authentic (I'm guessing here as I am not a Harry Potter fan). If you do not have a copy of Adobe InDesign (I highly recommend avoiding MSWord), I hear Scribus is a very good free alternative.

I'd offer to do the work on it for you myself, but I simply do not have the time. But feel free to send me a message or email if I can answer any questions. Book layout and design is my day job.

Thank you. I am Industrial engineer but also I have studies of graphic design, web design,... ( I am a photographer too ) InDesign IS the program for a great project like this, I know it, thanks for your advice. I can't imagine anyone trying to do something like this with MSWord... Thank you very much for your possible help, I'll let you know if I need you for resolve any doubt.

edit: thanks for the link, I am a big fan for the medieval books art. I will not use any information about real medieval page layout since this prop has a very particular style, but maybe for future proyects will be useful.

Are you a graphic designer?

A kind offer to be sure but don't worry, this project is in very good hands.

demiguel.m has a history and a reputation for absolutely top-end work that very few people can match.

regards and best

Hi,

@demiguel.m : This is not what I asked you! I apologise if I was misinterpreted, maybe? So I wanted to know if you were going to put us a link High resolution images of your work and then do as @TK8541, put it in PDF?

Thnaks you !

 

[demiguel.m]

:$ You make me blush, KramStaar :lol Thank you.

I need help with English phrase:

"The grass should be _____(two or tree words)_____ than two weeks harvested."

Have "grass" word any sense? (in reference to a potion)
What words could be?

 

[KramStaar]

"The grass should be dry and less than two weeks harvested."

Just a suggestion

Not really

"The grass should be dry and less than two weeks harvested."

Just a suggestion

that's great for now, thanks!

Pages, pages, pages...

 

[ecl]

The pages are looking excellent!

 

[demiguel.m]

So, I layout the page in that way because of this:

Standard book of potions has the images under the title, but snape version has them on the right. That page is not seen on screen, but I'm pretty sure it is not much different from the original.

speaking for myself...I like both versions, but I like Snape's old worn copy

Definitely a great job mate.. Looking amazing.. I'd love to buy a copy when completed..

Thank you guys

I really love the ecl cover; tutorial and technics are awesome but I have a very very detailed vectorial cover version and I plan to use some techniques I've learned over the years while doing grail diaries.

Will this be a free .PDF (paper prop) or a completed cover with pages?

Is it possible to buy pages (.pdf) for those of us who made a blank cover?

CharmedOne, I have really bad experiences with free props because ebay and recasting pages; same with pdf files. People who asking for purchase a copy of my work, really knows how many hours it takes to do something like this.

the good news are I am still working
