Book Design and Layout Design Process

Abstract

Digital media is currently experiencing a very rapid increase. Design- ers are competing to display their products in digital media, from the world of entertainment to the world of education. Even in the world of education, habits have changed, which were originally face-to-face, now they are starting to use digital media in learning. Books are the main media in learning, transforming into e-books and e-journals. With the change in digital form, the existence of physical books has begun to shift towards digitization. Nevertheless, the existence ofphysi- cal books is still very popular, because terms of physical books cannot be replaced with digital media, namely the texture of books, sheets when changing pages, covers, and certain interactions that are made that characterize physical books. The design of the book design is an important thing to pay attention to so that the reader does not get bored reading the book. On the other hand, knowledge about book design, layout, layout, and illustrations in Indonesia is still lacking when sought. Based on these considerations, the author wants to answer the question of how the stages of designing book designs and layouts are. The methodology used in this paper is a qualitative method of literature (Literature Review) with the development of 3 stages of the process of making book designs, namely the Pre-Production, Production, and Post-production processes. It is hoped that this article will add a little knowledge about the stages of designing book designs and layouts. Keywords:
