Preparation of the envelope is a specific part of the book where not live without creativity and potential collaboration with artists and architects. Therefore, assume that you have prepared drawing on paper, as would probably have to look front, back and back of the packaging and now want to convert this drawing into a computer.
After starting Scribus will automatically offer to create a new document. When entering the dimensions you have to count that will cover crop and once you define all sides. For this reason, you should know what the requirements placed Printer - edge, placing crop marks that you have complied with these things. The above also shows that the larger the monitor, the better. This, however, we digress slightly. lightcraft
After creating a basic document to it, you can now add crop marks to be easily oriented, where the parties. To accurately localize them, do not necessarily carry a calculator - if you know programming, you can prepare a script that renders them for you, and automatically calculates the thickness of the spine (the attached script is defined by the value of requests and documents librix.eu Publisher): #! / usr / bin / env python # - * - coding: utf-8 - * - "" lightcraft "Crop marks for Librix.eu around the selected object, which must correspond to the external dimension.

To use this script, you first need to insert and remove image frame whose size corresponds to the overall external dimension of the envelope. The script should be saved to a file with the extension "py". After running the script, you need to specify only the number of pages of the book - it would be odd, because the spine width corresponds to the number of letters. Subsequently portray crop marks and brands, having the back of the book.
Defined framework do not delete the image, but you can fill color or image that will form the base of the container. Then paste it into the document cover other elements - whether texts or images and place them to your liking, lightcraft or even better prepared in accordance with the design.
The images are inserted into the prepared framework easiest via the context menu (which is accessed by selecting framework via the right mouse button), where it is necessary to choose the option Get the picture. After importing the image (which may be in PDF format) will probably not match his size frame size. It is therefore appropriate to turn over the same contextual menu option is selected in the Customize frame image. However, sometimes you need the exact opposite - if you use the Customize option image framework.
Similarly, the procedure also for text frames, where the context menu choose Edit Text option. Use it to open so. Story editor, where you can enter your desired text, size and font. Of course, sometimes you have to size "play", for example if you want the text to be stretched to full width without having to Increase magnification gaps.
Regarding the text on the back, he has to be turned. This is done easily - working in the Properties window (for example, is accessible via hotkey [F2]) to set the tab XYZ rotation of 90 degrees. Once we mention XYZ tab, so you must not forget that on this tab, you can specify the exact size and location of the frame (of course, this applies to all frames).
