Type Specimen booklet: How to print your booklet correctly
By this thursday 11/19, you ALL should have your book in a printed rough draft form. It is always a good idea at this point of the book design process to print out what you have and mock up your booklet. In order to do this it is helpful to understand how to create printer spreads. Creating printer spreads from your book layout is called imposition. Here's an article from Adobe to help explain how to impose a document for booklet printing in InDesign.
For this Thursday, bring in a mock up of your booklet. Print your pages and tape the book together as it should be read. This will allow us to look at it together and make revisions. a lot of things can become apparent once it's printed out that you can't see just on screen. Creating a mock up now will make it easier in the end to produce your final prototype with less or no problems.
