Don't judge a book designer by their layout
A talk by Ragini Siruguri
Ever wondered what exactly a book designer does? Contrary to public opinion, the role of a designer in the making of printed books goes far beyond cover design. At Tara Books, an independent publishing house renowned for their experiments in book-making, design plays an important part in the journey of a book. Design decisions are shaped by a number of factors and the book that finally sits on the shelf is often quite different from what the designer originally imagined. In this talk, get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes of a selection of titles designed at Tara Books and learn about ways to navigate unexpected constraints using tricks of the trade. From working around limitations of print processes to planning layouts for books with language translations, this session is a sneak peek into the fascinating yet challenging world of designing for print.
