BTW I wonder if my spreads were one of the far departures that had to be reigned in... I ran with the flexibility that the style guide seemed to offer.

If you guys haven't gotten to the point of pagination yet, then I'd recommend you storyboard it in thumbnails to get the pacing right. You might already do this typically for books, it's a technique I learned from a former boss that always helps before you get into the nitty gritty design details.
In other words, don't simply arrange submissions in order of arrival. But I'm sure you chaps already know that :P

I think the page order should be the order in which you received submissions :)
- still tbd how we will be ordering pages, but we'll take your comment on board..neue75_bold

Did I make the cut Mike? Or did you get all the original submissions in?

My additional spread was an underhand way of saying "do you think it would look better it I put 2 full bleed images in instead?"
- haha, you weren't the only one, we'll have a look dancer...neue75_bold
- ermmm... if you decide to go with the images (allbeit under resolution) I will have to write side text... love ya workDancer

Good job chaps. I apologise for any fuck ups in my spreads, I just hope they didn't look too shoddy...

I had an error on my spread (non-updated image) emailed NBH – yet to hear a response. Plus I think I left a 3rd spread in by a mistake.
I look forward to hearing from someone....
Should never rush these things

Things are moving, but moving slowly.
Once again, bear with us and don't expect any major 'news' or updates for another week orso.

Everybody, we're now pretty much through sorting out the entire submission nightmare - thanks to everyone who submitted.
Next, we'll be figuring out the logistics of putting together the actual book. This is a little bigger of a job then I may sound to some of you. Partly because, although we had provided guidelines for the submissions, people were still all over the place with the content (fucking designers)... and also because we're working with the publisher on figuring out the best specs in regards to production.
Furthermore, please remember that everyone involved with this have full-time jobs and are doing this on the side for free.Again, thanks to everyone for submitting, and we'll keep you posted.
