Text layout:- What font and size of the text is used and how is the text placed in relation to the illustrations. How much margin is given and all the other things related to the selection and placement of text.
Illustration layout:- The illustrations used inside the book with the text, their placement in the pages, using full illustrations or using spots to give them extra effects. The illustrations can be used in multiple ways to enhance the designing or to fill the vacant areas on the pages where there are no illustrations.
Not only these pages are added, but we also need to do a proper layout of the text of the manuscript, the font selection, spacing between words, lines and paragraphs. The pages need to be designed for kids and should have a colorful design. The text must be placed in a fashion that enhances the illustrations and does not take a look away. The illustration and text layout are very important to keep the readers engaged in both illustrations as well as message/text.
If you are buying the illustrations as well as the Book design service from us, then you don't just get a handsome discount but also save yourself from the hassle of transferring so many files (manuscript and illustrations) to another designer, who may not have the expertise to create designs for a Children's book.

Files You Receive
Final files depend on the formats included in your project. These may include a print-ready interior PDF and a digital book file when eBook formatting is requested.
