Step-by-Step Guide

This guide suggests ways in which you can supply your proposed exercise book content to us. To create a draft for each edition, we need the following information:

Step 1 - Outside Cover Design

Most bespoke exercise books have covers with these elements. It is very important to decide which of these elements you want to incorporate before you start looking for suitable photos/artwork:

School name/logo
Areas for subject-specific photographs or artwork
Areas for colour-coding by subject
Subject
Space for student name/form
Area for other logos or strapline

We can create new templates from your draft instructions. Alternatively, if you would prefer to create your own designs, we can accept print-ready PDFs. Design instructions should be emailed to: info@dactylpublishing.com

Step 2 - Inside Cover Design

Bespoke information can go on the inside front/back covers (or inside the books). You can mock up your own pages (e.g. in MS Word) and we will design them for you.

Alternatively, you can use your choice of software to create print-ready page designs. Please note: extra charges apply for bespoke information pages.
