Sample Page Layout for a Coming Product
Since this isn't a map, rather standard 2 column page layout design for a 40 page, full color, saddle stitch (stapled on the spine), printed book with a glossy cover. Of course this was completely created using Xara Designer Pro x11, what I normally use primarily to create professional map commissions. Most of my books look like this on the interior. The use of border graphics is pretty standard in tabletop roleplaying game supplements. Those colored dots on the corners, as well as the graphics on the border shapes, I change from product to product - on this one, since the theme is Colonial Marines, I used green in the dots, and camo in the fills of the beveled shapes. The illustration was created in the 3D, modeled in Wings 3D, and lit, textured and rendered in Vue Creator. While it's not always the case, often enough, this product I wrote, game designed, illustrated, mapped, page layout, in final published format myself, and the credits page look like a vain person, all the titles are me. Anyway, I thought I'd give you a look at my interior page design for my Starfinder Roleplaying Game support products fully done in Xara, except for the 3D illustration... enjoy!
