The brief

An informative, well-designed eBook on a topic of my choice, treated as a visual research paper.

Layout and typography

The guide has 12 chapters, from history and printer types through materials, software, setup, troubleshooting and resources. It uses consistent chapter heads, comparison tables, credited photos and green line-art accents. It was exported to both PDF and EPUB.

Format: 19 pages, 12 chapters, PDF + EPUB. Tools: Adobe InDesign, Photoshop. Interior photos: Wikimedia Commons, credited in each figure caption. Cover printer line art: licensed illustration.
