Hello all! Hope you've had a good weekend! I took a little break this weekend and was doing a book event yesterday, but now it's May and I'm getting back into the swing of Heartstopper Volume 1 design.

So after a few days of fiddling around with colours and lettering, I've come up with the spine for the book. I still might change the title as I think the lettering is a bit dark, and I might change the lettering of my name so it matches the cover. And I'll probably need to move everything around a bit once I know how many pages are going to be in the book and I can calculate the exact width the spine needs to be (but it'll probs be about this thick).

I'm pretty set on most of this design, and I've expanded the cover a little bit to leave room for the bleed (the bit that might get cut off during printing). But again, I need to look up specific measurements and this might all need adjusting.

Also on the back will be a barcode and ISBN! I want this book to look professional as heck :)

But this is a rough idea of what I think it'll look like, anyway!! I really hope you like it! Thank you so much for all your feedback so far - it's been so so helpful. It's happening!! Heartstopper Volume 1 is happening!!

Here's a pic of just the spine on its own, if you're interested:

P.S. $5 patrons! I'm hoping to get you a new page later today :) I miss the main storyline haha!!!

It’s so cute! So this is for a physical copy, correct? If so what is going to be the price?

aliceoseman

Yes! I'm not sure of the exact price yet, but it'll probably be somewhere between £12 and £16!

This really turned out beautifully, Alice! I am just OVER THE MOON at the thought of having my very own physical copy of this sweet story! Will there be a limited first run (like with the pins), or will there most likely be enough copies for all of us who’d want one (literally probably all of us!)? My heart would be so sad to miss out on this like I missed out on the adorable pins.

aliceoseman

Thank you so so much!! Nope, there should be enough for everyone. I'm probably going to do a Kickstarter campaign, so everyone who contributes will get one, and I expect I'll print some extras to sell afterwards in my shop too :)

LJ Zee

Ahhhh!!! I wish you could see the huge smile on my face! I think Kickstarter is a PERFECT idea. If there is extra merch on the top tiers too?!? Ahhhh!! You are the best. Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait!
