Illustrations and cover

Classic gamebooks live from their black and white illustrations. In Spielbuchschmiede you set the style once, and all pictures of your series follow it.

One style for the whole series

In the basics of the series you describe the style of the illustrations. It applies to every picture you have drawn in this series.

Pictures for sections

You describe what should be seen and have a picture drawn. If you do not like it, you draw it again or remove it. For the whole volume you start several pictures in one step. Spielbuchschmiede tells you beforehand what this costs at most.

Black and white inside, colour on the cover

With black and white paper, all pictures in the interior appear in greyscale. The print check takes care of this. The cover stays in colour.

The cover

On the Cover page you enter the author and the text for the back and have a motif drawn. Spielbuchschmiede calculates the spine from the page count of the interior.

The step-by-step guide is in the help under Pictures and character pictures.
