Although this wouldn't be the best choice for one that I mailed on spec, it is a great way to showcase the sketches for this particular project. I was even able to slip a DVD with the PDF for the sketches into the book. The images are blurred for privacy of the publisher, but you get the idea. I liked the way the presentation turned out.
Because I have a nice new wide body printer I can actually print out the spreads up to 13 x 19 inches. I can make a dummy with those as well as this kind where I have to cut the pages apart to put them in order. Maybe variety is what I like when it comes to dummies. *:)
Do you have a favorite way of creating a dummy?

Hi Ginger - I'm in the middle of making some dummy books for the Bologna fair next March. Originally I thought it might be too expensive to print from a PDF - but shopping around I've found a printers who charge just a few pounds (about $8) for a very professional print from PDF.
Ginger! What a great post. I have not yet created a dummy so this is great information. Thank you for posting about it and how it seems to do the trick for your needs. I wish you the best as you present it to your client. And, I think the PDF is so awesome! Smart!
Happy New Year to you - it has been so wonderful getting to see your work each week. I wish you peace and many great adventures in art in the new year!
