What They Wanted
My client came to me and told me they had an author with a motivational self-help book that was also part workbook. They sent me several examples of what they had in mind.
The Project
I’ve worked on workbooks before but had yet to work on a hybrid workbook/self-motivational book. Me and the client went back-and-forth and discussed how much white space was too much? Was it better to go with a serif font for the body text?
I’m always Team Serif when it comes to book and very rarely do I even suggest using a different kind of font, but I also didn’t want the book to look uneven.
I did manage to strike a good balance between the fonts. Toward the end of the project, the client added-on an ebook version. The hardest part to figure out where the charts. How did I want to do them? Did I want to hardcode them in? Use an image? I’m still not sure if I chose correctly on the charts (I opted for hardcoding), but the client seemed to like the final outcome.
