SUMMARY:Talking Design (BookMachine Unplugged 2021)
DESCRIPTION:Print book versus digital thumbnail: What are we designing for?\nPublishers have grappled for decades with adapting print designs for a digital environment. Driven initially by the requirements for the Amazon thumbnail\, little has changed and the challenge remains – what exactly is a designer doing when they design a book cover? Are they producing a luxuriously printed book cover that will drive sales in a book store setting? Or are they creating a postage stamp-sized icon to be displayed beside book data in a digital environment?  \n  \nEffects that add value on paper do not translate online. Production add-ons like foils\, embossing\, die cuts are worthless digitally. But digital offers unlimited options for exploration\, including animation and sound. How do we manage this inherent tension when we have limited time and staff to address two distinct requirements? How can we unlock the innovative and interactive potential of digital while still respecting the print book object? How can we harness designers’ power – the ultimate problem solvers – in addressing this challenge as part of an overall strategy?  \n  \nOn Wednesday 10th November\, 6–7pm GMT\, join an acclaimed international panel of creatives and art directors to consider the potential the digital thumbnail presents. We’ll hear about good and bad case studies\, get the sales and marketing perspective\, and debate the challenges and realities of design in publishing strategy. \n  \nTalking Design this year takes place during Design Season\, running from 1st November to 10th December 2021. \n  \n*This session will have live closed captioning available for viewers to toggle on or off as needed* \n  \nAbout BookMachine Unplugged 2021\nBookMachine Unplugged is an online and interactive programme of publishing events designed to offer real insights into what is working in publishing right now – and what the future of publishing may hold. \n  \nIf you’re a publishing professional who craves an explosion of knowledge\, ideas\, and personal development – in a strictly social and informal setting – this event series is for you! \n  \nEach of the six BookMachine Unplugged events programmed for this year will zoom in on a vital area of the publishing industry.
