Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

My version of the Journal will have the same dimensions as the one coming in the "collector's edition" of the game. I compared the dimensions of it with the ones we see in the game and the width x height ratio of the journal is the same. These dimensions are 207 mm in height and 255 mm in width (page being folded it is 127,5 mm per page then). Unfortunately I have not found any standardized paper with these dimensions.

I am currently measuring all the inserts to that scaling ratio to find out what size every insert needs to be. These measuring pictures will be added to the upload soon, so stay tuned!

As promised here are all the sorted Journal pages and inserts! The pages are not in the earlier discussed order yet. Every Page has a reference folder with a screenshot of that particular page! as already mentioned, some pages still need color correction and being flipped, but I think it is a great and easy start for anyone interested in this Journal!
If you have any suggestions or if anything is missing, just say it and I will add it to the file.

Wow this is amazing! Well done and thank you! You are a legend.

So I just finished the rough scaling of the reference screenshots. That does not mean, that the inserts are already perfectly sized and ready to be printed.. I just measured everything so everyone would have a good overview on all the dimensions. The measured pictures are in each "Reference" folder of every page. They show the different sizing factors oriented on the journals page height (207 mm). In conclusion that means; to get the right dimensions you just have to multiply the seen factor with 207 mm and you're good. I also noticed, that some factors slightly differ, but I am pretty sure they are supposed to be uniform sizes (often the factors; 0.67 ; 0.68 ; 0.7 etc.). I tend to the 0.7 factor, because in that case it gives you almost a round number of 145 mm.
Also there often is just one measurement per insert, because the other one is resulting from the ratio of the insert files.

I also added a .txt file with some info of the journal book that came in the collector's edition.

I am currently investigating a little in different paper sizes that were used around 1937.
Here is the link to the slightly updated Journal file.

Well done and thank you very much for this--definitely a lot of effort went into this for sure and I also appreciate that we still have to do the work to make this and not just print it out. Going to be great drawing all these pages for sure.


My major concern however is-- there's a TON of inserts and photos! Anyone that has tackled the Grail Diary knows exactly what I mean when I say- those photos and inserts will certainly pose an issue with inserting all these into the book without making it look like George Castanzas wallet from that famous Seinfeld episode where he could barely close it I believe we're going to have to rethink what paper we will need to use if we are going to successfully add these photos and inserts for sure--Playing the game (or to complete the game) requires you to take around 100 or more photos not including all those notes, cards and other inserts-also passing 100--. I'm beginning to think the large majority of these inserts and photos will need to be a side part displayed next to the journal and only using some key insert/photos in the book itself.

Im using the same exact size journal from the game-- I posted that here earlier- I found an identical to the game cover journal however the paper is ruled and not blank. Its going to be using the cover and sewing my own pages to make the journal.

i am working on mine right now. not gluing or taping in of the inserts in yet. i will let you know when i get some of it done on how it is going. i do think that it is going to be thick
