Art and Book Design by Walton Mendelson for:

Miscellanea

8.25 x 10.5 inches, 58 pages, 1 page text, 34 full color images. Perfect bound.

Book Block:	5 hours—Faced with the involuntary demise of a 30 year collaboration, see also The Music of Frederick Sommer,* I rebuilt my portfolio and published Miscellanea. Because the art was created in photo-editing and drawing software, the individual files needed very little work to set them in place, and the book's design was very straight forward and simple.
Photo Editing:	< 2 hours—all of the images were already in digital format, just needing to be resized.
Cover:	23 hours—the art was made for the cover

Book Design:

Miscellanea was designed to for print-on-demand. This meant that size limits cold not be exceeded. We were able to print a number of images across the gutter, thereby enabling the theoretical image size to approach 16 by 8 inches. The art was prepared for inkjet printing, and other than a slight color shift on the cover (due mostly to the laminating), the color held perfectly.
