After the first use you have

Five anchor spreads chosen, a rhythm plan for the rest, and a spread-by-spread layout brief you can build in any album or book tool.

A printed book is the one piece of content people keep for years: a company year in review, a client gift, a brand book, a family album.

This skill plans the book before you open a layout tool: five emotional anchors first, then a rhythm of wide, close, and detail that keeps every page turn fresh, with a relationship moment every few spreads.

You get a brief that a designer, or you, can build in an afternoon.

It asks you for
  • What the book is for and who receives it
  • Number of spreads and page size
  • The edited images (file names or a short description of each)
  • Must-include moments or people
You get
  • Five anchor spreads
  • Rhythm plan
  • Spread-by-spread brief
  • Cover and spine text
  • Gaps to fill
