From the photographer's edit to the spreads, with the photographer, the designer and the editor in the same book at the same time.
The board holds the edit; the book is made from it and edited by everyone at once.
The photographer sequences on a board; you comment on the photographs themselves.
Make a book from the board: one page per photo, in order, each a full bleed or a captioned page depending on orientation, crop and resolution.
Designer and photographer in the same book, live. Each undoes only their own changes.
Choose the cover colour and material, place artwork, write the blurb. The index and the plates write themselves.
Send a link and it opens as a book in 3D: turn pages, turn it over, try another trim. When it's ready, export the files for the printer.
A small press is making a first book with a photographer they met at a portfolio review. She sequences on a board; the publisher makes the book from it the same afternoon.
For three weeks the designer reworks spreads while the photographer watches, each undoing only their own changes. The editor reads it in 3D from a link before every meeting.
The same boards, rooms and books, from another seat at the table. Or see every feature.
