It is necessary to design a book in Canva. This is a fill-in-the-blank gift book in English. The total number of pages is 119. The design should be attractive as a gift (pleasant to hold and fill out). It is important to maintain a consistent style across all pages. Style: warm, friendly, humorous, family-oriented, for dad. Use easy-to-read fonts associated with warmth and coziness. Add small graphic elements for decoration. I am sending a file with the text in Word format.

Technical task for designing the book in Canva:

Format and technical specifications:

Book size: 21.91 (width) x 22.23 (height) - including bleed

Final size after printing: 21.6 x 21.6 cm

Inner margin (near the spine): 2.3 cm
Outer margin: 1.9 cm
Top margin: 1.9 cm
Bottom margin: 1.9 cm
Fonts embedded
Black-and-white printing

Book structure:

A gift book to be filled out, like a questionnaire, contains questions with blank lines or spaces for handwritten answers (enough space for writing by hand). There are 5 sections in total.

1st section – General questions – 3 questions per page – with blank lines for handwritten answers.
2nd section – Questions with missing months that require an answer – 1 word or sentence. 6 questions per page
3rd section – Sentences with missing months that require an answer – 1 word or sentence. 5 sentences per page
4th section – One or two sentences/tasks per page (e.g., insert a photo). The line or dot markings are not very prominent.
5th section – 10 pages of blank space with dotted markings for easy drawing or writing
Before each section, there is an instruction page – nicely designed with graphic elements.
Important – at the end of each question page, there should be a field - Filled out by:__________________________ so that the person answering the questions leaves their name. It can be next to the page number as a footer or separate from the page number.

Files and formats for delivery:

We work in sections, initially approving 1-3 pages of each section, then moving on to the next
Access to the editable Canva file (template link) is also required.
Once the work is completed, a high-quality final PDF file is needed. 300 DPI

Canva – це чудовий інструмент для швидких дизайнів, але важливо знати її обмеження, особливо якщо йдеться про друк. Ось кілька важливих моментів:
⠀
🔸 Для багатосторінкових макетів Canva може бути корисною для замовника на початковому етапі - для створення концепту чи прототипу. Але для фінального друку варто переходити до професійних програм, я рекомендую лише Adobe InDesign :)
⠀
🔸 Малі макети, наприклад, візитівки чи листівки можна створити в Canva, якщо у вас є версія Pro (для експорту в форматі PDF Print). Але навіть у цьому випадку варто пам’ятати, що:
⠀
⭐️ Параметри кольорів у Canva не завжди точно відповідають вимогам друку
⭐️ Друкарні можуть зіткнутися з проблемами, пов’язаними з роздільною здатністю чи полями
⠀
🔸 Canva створена переважно для цифрового контенту, тому для друку великого тиражу чи дорогих проєктів (як-от книги чи блокноти) краще не ризикувати.
