Designing and Producing Artwork

This book deals with the design and production of artwork. ''Camera-ready'' artwork means the material you want printed -completed text and illustrations pasted in position, ready for the printer to make a printing plate. Design and production can involve a wide range of choices and techniques. You as a producer do not have to know everything! What you must know is what to ask, and who to ask, in order to make informed choices. You may go on to do all the practical work yourself, or you may explain things to somebody else so that they can do it. This book covers planning and making choices as well as practical work.
