Create a book layout for Doc Camp Book #2BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Jacob B, HarmanpreetTags: artistic, publishing, book, layout, design

BRL-CAD was selected to participate in the 2013 Google Summer of Code Doc Camp. A team of contributors got together in California, brainstormed, and wrote an entire book for BRL-CAD in just a few days. They created a guide for contributing to BRL-CAD.

You will design a layout for the book. You will likely need to research the different structural elements in the book book (i.e., code blocks, blockquotes, special quotes for commands, for manpages, etc.) and everything around like a front page, the font, etc. You will likely need to use the actual Doc Camp book content (at least some pages) to demonstrate a complete layout design.

Submit your design as a .pdf, .odt, set of images, or ask about other formats. Submit an editable format so we can make changes if needed. You're welcome to submit a rendered preview too.

Jacob B on December 4 2014 18:00 UTCSubmission

 Could you submit a pdf, png, or other collapsed format of each of those pages?  The file is too big for us to be able to download it, so we can't see the work you have done.  (This is a known issue with Google Melange: https://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=1672).

Mandeep Kaur on December 5 2014 21:57 UTCFile Format

Hi Aditya,


Have some patience and don't worry about tasks. We can create more tasks if required.


Can you convert psd to png or jpeg and upload that files too?

Aditya Gulation December 6 2014 05:09 UTCProblem

Sir,


I cant upload a jpeg file.


since the file size is to high it can't be saved and If I convert it to JPEG the quality will decrease.


Regards,


Aditya

Mandeep Kaur on December 6 2014 07:19 UTCNeed improvements

Aditya, you are doing good work and you can do better. The design you have created is not up to the mark. On the contents page, there is no numbering or bullets for sub topics. The indentation of paragraphs is also not consist. You have to use actual content of Doc Camp book for demonstration. Writing only "paragraph" text does not show the preview of the book. You can see other similar tasks for inspiration if you want.

Sean on December 7 2014 06:41 UTCvery nice!

Aditya,


I'm not sure what the issues others are having with your files, but your design looks good to me.  If you can wrap it up into a single pdf, that may help others see what your design pages look like.


A word of advice, most open source projects avoid the .rar file format.  You will more frequently see .zip, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and sometimes even .7z files more common.


I think you've done a lot of great work on this design!  How long did you work on this?
