I want the book to be a big (thick, lots of plates) project based on my original theme of seeing theaters in all the characteristic regional landscapes across the country. Each theater is unique, no standard designs, the opposite of fast food chains or big box stores. But the common elements of a big white screen, the sculpted field, and other buildings buildings allow a variation and theme approach to viewing them in dramatically different landscape settings.<br /><br />It will have a brief introduction with a quick overview of DI history, partly because a lot of what people think they know about drive-ins, isn't so. Just set the stage and then let the pictures play. Also an appendix at the back with a quick note on what is known about each theater that appears in the bookâespecially whether it is still operational.<br /><br />I have a vast amount of interview material, not to mention color photographs, that I want to work up into a different presentation, quite possibly an ebook approach.<br /><br />On the technical side, combining color and b&w would mean using CMYK-monochrome, which can look great when it works but can easily mess up, or a complex production combining CMYK and tritone or quadtone signatures. I don't want the mix on a purely aesthetic basis, so I don't have to worry about that part...Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-32353574542368279212015-05-09T02:42:28.084-04:002015-05-09T02:42:28.084-04:00Glad to hear this is moving ahead.

What are the design and production issues of having both (if you do that)?<br /><br />scottscott kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587724479735177038noreply@blogger.com
