I made sizing mock ups to help my decision making:
- A: A4 size
- B: Mixam letter size 279 x 216mm
- C: Exwhyzed bespoke size 279 x 210mm
- D: blurb 200 x 250mm
- E: Mixam 210x 210 mm
The mock up below was to establish the size the footnote images would actually be if on a book 266mm wide and 4 across a 2 page spread.
