Now it's time to email publishers, and gather all my research together for my hand in next week, (oh and to get a little drunk!)

Emailing publishers

I've sent out a couple of emails this evening, one to Michael O'Mara Books and the other to Quirk Books. These both publish books that are quite similar in content and style, so I thought I'd give it a go!

I'm finding it quite hard to find places that won't accept you unless you have a literacy agent. So yeah, it's a bit of a pickle. I still need to find more relevant places to email!

Fuzzy letters - urgh!

Went to collect my book again today, and I'm STILL not happy with it. The boxes have gone from the images (yay) but the text in the rest of the book is really crap.

As you can see here:

I think it's because I tried to cheat, and just saved the PDFs in photoshop again as CMYK.
The font is also done in photoshop and is RGB.. so today I've been resaving everythign as CMYK and placing that all into indesign again.
Gaaah. I think DPI actually think I'm a retard ... because I am. :(
