I realized a couple days ago that I had hit the point in developing Sons of Liberty that I needed to see it in layout to keep developing the manuscript effectively. So last night I sat down and put together a ’starter’ layout, and flowed a little over 80 pages of the book. Since all of the art in the book is square (for eventual potential as art on a custom deck of cards), I just dropped 4×4, 2×2, and 1×1 frames into the pages to adjust flow.

Then I placed actual art into the frames, cause, hey, why not? They were on my hard drive anyway.

I was surprised by how quickly and easily all the disparate pieces came together to make a very good design draft. It’s always encouraging to find out you’re farther along than you thought you were.

I’m going to fiddle a bit, and then I may have some sample spreads to show off.
