Blurb is a self-publishing platform which allows it's users to create and sell their own books, be that ebook or actual print through websites like Amazon. Blurb is interesting, as it is not only allows you to create books through their website, but also offers downloadable software in order to make it easier if there is no internet connection, or if you just find it easier to use software of your own, these software include;
- BookWright
- Adobe InDesign Plug-in
- Booksmart
The service also allows people to upload PDF files to create their desired books.
The service for me is a fantastic concept, after using the software very briefly I felt it easy to use and wrap my head around. I will opt for using the BookWright software rather than the actual Blrub book creation tool as I felt you had more freedom in this software, I am not too up to scratch with InDesign as of late, however because I will be creating my poster using InDesign I will need to get my skills back up to standard. The book I want to create will feature almost everything in this blog, however it will be much more organised and written more professionally, as it wont be me just speaking my mind or how I am feeling in that moment. The book will feature everything from the inspiration, to the pre-production, to the concept-art to the actual production. As I haven't finished the production or the post-production, I will be updating the book as often as I can, as well as the blogger itself. Also, as you may have noticed, I have created labels for all of my posts, to ease access around the blog and find what information goes where.
