Amelia Aerial Panel – Final Image, Amela Update

Well, for any of you (three or so) folks following along at home, there it is: the final image that’s come of my various posts on this once-panel now-spread.

Amelia is just about wrapped up now.  I’m anticipating sending off completed files tomorrow; although, I may have to revisit some of my gray layer work.  This is the first time I’ve done a “duotone” book that’s actually going to be printed on two separate Pantone plates, so there’re a lot of subtle nuances to getting the gray underlayer just right that are new to me.  It’s actually more akin to setting up a two color screen print than prepping files for printing as I’ve done it in the past.

I’m dying to post some other pages from the book, but I think I’ll hold off a bit.  With the other Hyperion/CCS books, there’ve been websites set up for the books with sample pages, so I’ll wait until I know if there’re specific pages set up as previews and then post those here as well.
