This 3-minute time-lapse offers a detailed view into the initial production process required for the 70-page workbook, captured over three days of design work.
The sequence demonstrates my approach to laying the groundwork: constantly referencing the initial moodboard and the wireframe document (which required shifting from a square to a vertical format).
Key actions include selecting fonts and typefaces, setting up styles in InDesign (Paragraph, Character, and Object styles), defining the custom typographic hierarchy, creating repeatable design elements, and placing illustration placeholders to ensure the final product was technically robust, visually cohesive, and ready for bilingual production (bigger margins and increased line height).
