Gave a presentation in this format

As book spreads in the typesetting tool I've been working on. The text and title is derived from are.na blocks and I have a function that turns the blocks into book spreads.

I update the current index and refresh to go next or prev.

Imposition

The typsetter now export imposed spreads (print booklet). If I know which page will be on which sheet, I can consider alt bindings, for instance printing one of the sheets on blue paper and stitching it with an offset of an inch.

I introduced a viewport into the program so it can render this offset page. It handles coloring it and offsetting it while designing. When exported to print, the printer will switch out paper color for the given sheet.

Here is an example comparison of digital view and the printed counterpart.

Imposition tool updates

Was working on this tool last semester, and recently need it for another project where I need to make a publication (a menu) where pages are offset vertically and horizontally.

Finally got it all to work together nicely and have a live feedback/ui to change these offsets and quickly test out different possible layouts.

Gave a talk today at [Creative Coding Toronto]

Presented a breakdown of the parts that constitute this publication tool I've been working on. So presented it as a library of functions written down as an interrogation of a typographic vocabulary.

It was super fun. Made some new friends who I'm hoping to work with and excited to talk to :)

The presentation site is visible here:
