Page distribution

OK... time to start planning this book. I've gone over the script and broken it down into individual pages. Which is not exactly rocket science: it's more like a rough estimate of how much information will fit on a single page. I'm trying to build up a nice flow / rhythm throughout the whole book. And scribbling lots of brackets in the margins of the script, as you can see.

I've decided to make it an A5-sized book, out of folded A4 sheets. That'll save me the paper cutting I had to do for my previous book. Including the title pages, the counter has come to a stop at 168 pages. That's a LOT of work... but doable... I guess... And they can can be split up in 14 sets of 3 A4 sheets for the folding and binding. Neat!

Still not sure if it's best to start pencilling right away (I want to!) or to make miniature sketches & page layouts for the whole book first. I could try to do both things simultaneously. Sketch thumbnails in the mornings & afternoons while I'm on the bus, and draw pages on the evenings & weekends. The best ideas tend to pop up while I'm zoning out onboard public transport anyway :)
