Today is day 2 of rounding up images for my sketchbook book with the folks at Blurb, who offer print-on-demand custom books.  Huge thanks to blurb for sponsoring this project!

I’m going through all of my sketchbooks trying to figure out which pages would be the best in the book.  Once I’ve made my selection, I scan them in, clean them up (only a little) in photoshop and then upload them to the blurb server.  The first time I used Blurb I think I uploaded an InDesign document, but today I’m using their built-in book design software and it’s way easier.

They have a bunch of different formats and sizes, including magazines and hard cover books and I was tempted to do a really HUGE book at first.  In the end, I decided to go with their 7x7 photo book, which is only a little bit bigger than my actual sketchbooks.

Once I drop in all of the images, I’ll need to make a new cover (blurb has a wrap-around image option or a dust jacket), and then it’ll be a wrap.
