Book design is where narrative and visual artistry come together, transforming words into immersive experiences and each page into a carefully crafted canvas that draws readers deeper into the story. If you’re ready to take your editorial design skills to the next level, this class is your perfect starting point!  We’ll kick things off by exploring inspiring examples of books and breaking down the design elements that make them shine. You'll learn how typography, image placement, and layout structure work together to create professional and visually engaging publications.  Then, we’ll dive into Adobe InDesign to create a beautiful book, a new and unique verison of a classic: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Starting from a blank document, I’ll guide you step by step through the entire process, ensuring you can follow along at your own pace. Together, we’ll build every key component of the book—headings, subheadings, body copy, captions, and more.

You’ll also master advanced techniques like GREP styles, parent pages, and inline icons to give your book a polished, professional finish. By the end of this class, you’ll have a stunning design for your portfolio and the skills to tackle any editorial project with confidence.

You can download all the required to assets to follow along the course from the Class Project section.

Grab your creative toolkit, and let’s bring some fairy tales to life on the page—while you master the art of book design! Let’s get started!
