KipV Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 A couple months ago I was asking for help from the community on technical issues around designing the book (thanks for that!) and since then the book was published and now available for purchase. I used both apps for designing the cover and back cover but used Lightroom for editing the black and white photos on the inside. Affinity probably would have done well on the inside was well. Generally quite pleased with the programs for layout and am looking forward to future versions! https://www.amazon.com/Changed-Forever-Jimbo-Bailey-Story/dp/B01MS1D4A7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484346928&sr=8-1&keywords=jimbo+bailey Patrick Connor and MattP 2 Quote My Current Project | Previous Project | First Foray Into Web Design

KipV Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 I just noticed the new Affinity Photo book has a section on book cover design. Quote My Current Project | Previous Project | First Foray Into Web Design
paulfromaustralia Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Hi KipV Congratulations on getting the book published. I know how much work goes into that, and getting the formatting right. Do you mind me asking you if this is a true story. We care for a profoundly disabled young man Grant, whose birth was completely normal, and then 36 hours after birth he started having seizures. At the time he was only given from one two two years life expectancy. Well we have been caring for Grant full time since was 18 months old. He is now 29 years old. Although he has a profound brain injury, is non-verbal and fed through a PEG, he is in himself happy and contented. He will be with us for the rest of his life. Best wishes to you and your family and bye for now. Paul. MattP 1 Quote
KipV Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 Hi Paul, yes it is a true story. I worked with Jimbo's mother when putting the book cover together (Jimbo is the main character.) She has been trying to publish the book for over 30 years! Quote My Current Project | Previous Project | First Foray Into Web Design
