Digital Book Design and Publishing
By Dr. Douglas Holleley
This book covers all the essentials of digital bookmaking for photographers, artists, designers, and writers who want to move beyond the manuscript to the page. Based on his years of work as a photographer, bookmaker and teacher Douglas Holleley has developed a clear and considered approach to Digital Book Design and Publishing.
Inside one will find a progression through the process of bookmaking, from a consideration of maquette and materials, through printing and bookbinding, as well as a step-by-step guide to page layout and image processing software. A rich and varied selection of full-color reproductions from historical and contemporary illustrated books and artists’ books places digital books in a historical continuum.
Douglas Holleley studied art at Sydney’s Macquarie University, and went on to gain a M.F.A. in photography at Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York. In 1997 he earned a Ph.D. from Sydney University through thesis work that examined a major amusement park in Australia via the medium of photography.
Holleley has exhibited widely in the United States, Australia and Europe. His books and photographs are held in many collections including International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Center of Creative Photography, Australian National Gallery, and Australian National Library.
