Preview Book

[Brian Dowling]

This family history website illustration features the 'Preview Book' script.  Simple script as you only have to remember to reduce any extra layers you make .  I made the cover with a leather look and an embossed gold tree.  The script then puts it at the right angle and asks you to repeat the process for the book spine... again I used the leather and gold lines.  I tried to get some curvature on the spine by lightening the middle but it still looks flat.  The script is then reactivated to put it all together and make the nice book with bookmarks.  I like it a lot.

 

'Sharing to preserve' is a bit of a complicated concept to get across in an image at the best of times and trying to make it festive too was tricky, in the end I put the shared books in ornaments hung on garlands... some better analogy will maybe come to me after Christmas!
