Proboscis first published the design schematics for creating Diffusion eBooks in 2002. Since then we have developed the Generator web application to enable people without design skills to use the format, but for some authors the DIFFUSION Generator won’t offer the flexibility of design and layouts that they desire. For those with knowledge of graphic design and access to professional DTP software (e.g. InDesign or QuarkXPress) we have provided design schematics. These illustrate how to prepare the page imposition for eBooks using up to 8 sheets of paper (32 pages). The schematics detail both portrait and landscape orientations as well as Diffusion’s Classic (short edge)and Book (long edge) binding methods.
