AntiqueFlaneur Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi guys. Thanks for all your help over the last few weeks as I've started to learn Affinity Publisher. Would you be willing to critique the layout of the first chapter of a book I"m laying out? I'd love feedback on font choices, layout, and any other factors you think need improvement. Thanks! I've added the project's .afpub file to google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rglcSB3VGTVghF6vvon6jObluPB3SB2y/view?usp=sharing I'm attaching the PDF below.

Fixx Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 A few notes: You have generous amount of white space at the top part. White space is good but I feel it is not distributed well, header text feels it's floating. I would not put indent in the very first paragraph of the chapter. Only to the subsequent ones. I might consider a little more leading in body text. Is it a good choice to use sans serif in Introduction when other body text is serif? (It well may be but then there probably should happen some other change too – now they seem to fight each other somehow.) I think I would put all tilted images to same direction – bottom to right. I would use more offset in image text wraps (p 38). Generally the document seems to be well designed and legible (y) Bruce.Dickson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
