Hello all, I am reading a beautifully designed book called 'Boodbye Gutenberg", and it gave me inspiration to change the design of my self-published novel. However, I wonder if with my limited knowledge in Contet I can make it happen. Here it is:
Version 1: The text is standard, justified both sides. When the reader opens the book I want him/her to see a background light-gray picture centered in the spine of the book from the top of the page to the bottom. (The picture is a guitar with the strings along the spine), I would like half of the guitar in the left page, and half in the other page. In other words, there would be a bleeding picture to the right of the left page, and a bleeding picture to the left of the right page. The text would be black, and the guitar would be seen as background. I know it is difficult to follow my explanation, but I hope you understand. Version 2: The text is wrapped around the figure, that is, each line in the left page is left justified, but ends at the border of the picture. And each line in the right page is right justified, but begins at the border of the picture. I am hoping to get the version 1. The other version is like an exercise for me, to see how it would be done. I have tried with layers for the background picture, and it works, but I don't know how to tell Context to use alternative pictures, one for the left pages, another for the right pages. My apologies for the length ... thank you ciro ===== ================== Ciro A. Soto Author of "The Guitar Maker. An Exploration of Wisdom, Design and Love." Pub. Date: Dec. 2005.
