Book Title<\/strong>: Active and Passive Environmental Controls: Informing the Schematic Designing of Buildings\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nClient\/Publisher<\/strong>: McGraw-Hill (2003)<\/p>\n Role<\/strong>: Design, typesetting<\/p>\n Author<\/strong>: Dean Heerwagen<\/p>\n Size<\/strong>: 8 x 10 inches, case bound<\/p>\n This foundational architecture textbook by University of Washington professor Dean Heerwagen is, at close to 1000 pages and 4.5 pounds, the largest book I’ve designed and typeset.<\/p>\n Working within the publisher’s page design standards for a one-color interior, I set up a template for the chapters and then dug in to the 6-month task of flowing in the manuscript and developing the full-color cover.<\/p>\n The design is strictly utilitarian per McGraw-Hill’s design standards, but care was given to how a student approaches the text, making sure illustrations and charts appeared on the spread in which they were mentioned.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Six months seems like a long time for layout, but for a textbook of this scale it was a fast-paced schedule. To minimize downtime, the author and I worked out a schedule that allowed for him to review one chapter’s design while I worked on the next, while also prepping another chapter for the design phase. This meant that at any given time we would each be working on 2 or more chapters, revising one while building another. There were many late nights, but I’m pleased to say our agile approach worked and we were happy with the results.<\/p>\n With over 18 years of experience in agency and studio settings,\u00a0Amy Redmond<\/a>\u00a0is a visual designer who thrives on variety, creating print and interactive work for corporate and non-profit clients. To keep her creativity refreshed, Amy balances digital design with time in her letterpress studio (Amada Press)<\/a>\u00a0in Seattle.
