I received the other week my book proof for the Demon’s Blood reprint! Overall I am very happy with how it came out and I really should have approved it by now but I’m a little stuck on one point and would appreciate your thoughts on it.
As you can see in the photo there is a fold line down the left hand side so when you open it, it folds all nicely. Now my question is about the text. It is currently aligned to the fold line so there is the same amount of space each side but it also gives the impression that it is off-centre if that makes sense? My question is should I leave it how it is or move it so the text aligns with the same spacing each side without taking the fold line into account?
Any thoughts anyone has on this would be very much appreciated as I’m really not sure what would look better.
Do you mean on the left of the fold line that would be the spine? If so, the text is aligned perfectly because you don’t want to take the spine into account when looking at the front only. I love the artwork. Very dangerous looking, but pretty, too.
Yes I did, it seemed kind of off centre when I took that into account and I wasn’t sure whether I should take it into account or not? Thanks for your advice I think I will keep it how it is. I’m glad you like it I’m so pleased with how it turned out!
