THE HOUSE DESIGN

References and ideas

because the setting of the story is rural England I wanted a traditional cottage feel, so I stared looking specifically into fen cottages and vicarages with that overgrown feel to them.

Designing the house

I really want to push the proportions and style of the house as much as I can whilst still maintaining that rural old house look and style.

THUMBNAILING

CHAPTER ONE MOCKUP

learning about page printing pricing and setup

print.work

print works as a whole seems to have more customization and more in depth choice in the final outcome of the printed copies, the paper weight, size, type and format are easily editable and easy to change, however the price is quite steep. and a perfect bound book requires a minimum of 40 pages. I decided to order some samples from the website to check the quality.
