Create a book layout for our Doc Camp book #2

Create a book layout for our Doc Camp book #2BRL-CAD

Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags: layout, design, book, publishing, artistic

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.

This design looks more than complete and I can only imagine that you spent more than a couple hours putting this all together... How long did this take you from start to finish (in hours)?

As soon as you upload your raw working files, we can mark this task complete.

Anshula Rudhrarajuon November 30 2013 14:00 UTCTime it Took

It took me a little over an hour - maybe an hour and 20 minutes. On average, how long was the assignment supposed to take?

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.

It should take someone minimally but sufficiently experienced about two hours, so realistically anywhere from an hour to many hours.

Great work, thanks again!
