Brighton Artworker creates children’s story book about puppet dogs

Brighton Artworker creates children's dog puppet story book in 2024

Sussex Author Julia McKelvey self publishes her first story book in Brighton

Sarahjane had the pleasure of creating the artwork for ‘The Dog with the Question Mark Tail‘, a children’s story book written by Julia McKelvey from Sussex. She was asked to bring together photos and illustrations of Julia’s handmade puppets and merge them with beautiful illustrations from her friend Francois Viljoen. Working side by side on amends and tweaks, this helped Julia see her ideas come together quickly. Sarahjane used Adobe InDesign for the main layout and photoshop to cut out the images. For more information about the book please see Julia’s website https://www.puppetdelight.com or buy from Brown Dog Books.

InDesign panels used to create digital exercise books by remote Artworker Sarahjane Jackson

Freelance Artworker Brighton create long text heavy InDesign artworker with multi TOC

Leo Learning gave Sarahjane their branded InDesign template to Artwork exercise books for accountancy exams. Using InDesign with its paragraph, character, table and object styles to keep all the books consistent, these are advanced InDesign skills. The text was set in a flowing manor, imported from Microsoft Word, this helped with any additions or extraction of content. Pages included charts, tables and diagrams, all made accessible friendly.

A full table of contents was included and one for each module. These create bookmarks and hyperlinks for easy use throughout the documents for the final PDFs. These books also had to be ‘print ready’ using the same InDesign document, for the the non digital students.

This was a huge project, the books varied from 500 to 800 pages long, over 6 months. Working closely and remotely (on google chat) with other graphic designers, project managers and proofers. Digital spreadsheets where used for progress, and everyone knew were they where and what they where doing.
