Quick Transmigration Goldfinger Trialist

"I have to discuss this with the editor-in-chief."

Editor Zhou still couldn't make the decision. In fact, apart from being in charge of communicating with Ding Yun, he basically had nothing to make the decision. Ding Yun could understand this.

And said that next time the editor-in-chief will contact her directly.

That way it might be faster.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yun didn't wait for the magazine's approval, so he used his spare time to start drawing cover illustrations for his novels.

At the same time, by the way, I collected various raw materials, paper, printing technology, and related information on dark pattern bronzing, and thought about which material to choose for printing novels.

Although these are unfamiliar to Ding Yun, there are many books in the internal bookstore of the cultural communication system, and there are also many exquisite books that look like works of art. These books are enough for Ding Yun to use as a reference.

Ding Yun even retaliated because of this.

A hidden small application of the system has been developed.

That is, when she chooses a book and wants to manifest it, that is, when she manifests it in a paper book, her spiritual power will be directly pulled into a virtual space called the book design room. You can also choose to design your own design for the default book appearance in the system. After discovering this application, Ding Yun directly regarded that space as his own design studio.

She doesn't actually buy books every time, let alone realize new books. She just chooses a physical book, and then tries it for free, and then chooses to give up the realization when she finds time.

One hour a day is enough for Ding Yun to simulate some of his designs in the book design room to see what the specific effect is and whether it looks good.

As time went by, within a week, Ding Yun finished all the covers and illustrations of his five novels, and at the same time made the design of the paperback books.

For paperback books, Ding Yun chooses the minimalist style. Note that the minimalist style and the simple are not the same.

For example, the cover of the same book is all black, with the title, author, publisher and price printed on it, and nothing else, that is called crude.

And what is minimalism?

Minimalism means that the paper for the cover is specially selected or custom-made, the black is carefully blended, and some faintly visible dark lines have to be added, the font is carefully selected, even specially designed for this book, and some fine carvings are added It is normal to hide in the font, including the size of the word, which part to choose to put on the cover and side, and it is also carefully designed by the book designer.

At first glance, it will only feel simple and refreshing.

If you look closely, it is full of sincerity.

This is definitely two completely different concepts from the one that looks crude at first glance, crude like a pirated version.

Just when Ding Yun was about to continue designing the hardcover edition, the magazine called again after a lapse of a week. This time it was the editor-in-chief Zhang himself:

"Miss Li, I'm the editor-in-chief.

What you said earlier, Xiao Zhou has already mentioned it to me, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s mainly because these are professional things, and you probably haven’t done this before, so it’s possible for many situations…”

Ding Yun didn't let her finish her sentence at all, and said:

"Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. You didn't see it with your eyes, and you didn't hear it with your ears. You just denied me based on your own imagination. Do you think it's appropriate?

I've already drawn the cover and illustrations, and even the paperback design, I've done it all.

I'll send it to you later.

Let's talk when you're done reading! "

Ding Yun didn't have to rely on them, she still had thousands of tons of gold in her soul space, if she really couldn't do it, the big deal would be to sell some gold and set up her own publishing house, and she could publish.

So she didn't bother to pretend to be low-key or anything.

If there is something to choke directly, we are not afraid of him.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang on the other side felt that the little girl had a bad temper, but it was normal for a child to feel capable and unwilling to be looked down upon.

So in the end, he wasn't very angry, but he opened his mailbox rather helplessly, intending to see what masterpiece the other party could have. A student who didn't understand anything wrote good novels, maybe because of his extraordinary talent.

But can publishing design be done by laymen?

Then he was taken aback.

Because in the email that Ding Yun sent him, the dozens of exquisite illustrations in front of him were enough to amaze him, and he even vaguely felt that the exquisiteness of these illustrations was more than three thousand yuan compared with the highest-level illustrator employed by their magazine. The one with one piece of money is even more beautiful.

The level of sophistication and detail is even higher.

When he saw this, he didn't dare to underestimate Ding Yun anymore, so he read the following content very carefully, and it was precisely because of his careful reading that he could better perceive Ding Yun's intentions and the beauty of the design .

In the end, he looked at the mock-up of the finished product in the email Ding Yun sent him, and fell into contemplation for a while. After a long time, he called the staff in charge of publishing design and asked, pointing to the mock-up in the computer:

"Let's take a look at this design. Why does it seem to be very simple, just black letters on a white background and white letters on a black background, but it is more pleasing to the eye than normal books, and there is an inexplicably refined and tall feeling?"

"Editor-in-chief, wait, let me see..."

Of course, it is impossible for a professional to just look at the final mock-up of the book, and he specially flipped through the various detailed data of the book, and even the specific paper materials.

Then, it said:

"Editor-in-Chief, where did you find the book designer? This is simply renovating books as if they were a house, and designing them as handicrafts!

I seriously doubt that this book designer may have been a top interior decorator in the past, the minimalist style has been taken to the extreme, this design style looks simple, but it is actually more difficult to design than those luxurious ones.

Because it takes into account the golden ratio, data segmentation, and the best comfort of the human eye, including but not limited to optical ratio and chromaticity.

However, this design is generally custom-made, and it is only applicable to the title of this book. If it is replaced by another title or other author, the text is different.

The overall balance will be disrupted.

It might not be ugly, but it's not perfect either.

In addition, this design also fully considers the raw materials, so the raw materials must not be changed at all, including the raw materials of paper and cover, even the proportion of pigments used for printing, and even the depth of ink concentration, all must follow the design.

Only in this way can the perfect effect be presented.

If one thing changes, there will be a difference.

However, in doing so, the cost will definitely rise. "

Not to mention design fees, illustration prices, etc., if you just want to make books more beautiful and beautiful, you can't save raw materials. Paper that costs a penny and a paper that costs a dollar are simply not comparable.

This is the reason why many publishers are unwilling to pay attention.

Pay more attention to the cost.
