Google Code-in 2014 BRL-CAD

Create a book layout for Doc Camp Book

completed by: Marc Tannous

mentors: Deepak, Harmanpreet

BRL-CAD was selected to participate in the 2013 Google Summer of Code Doc Camp. A team of contributors got together in California, brainstormed, and wrote an entire book for BRL-CAD in just a few days. They created a guide for contributing to BRL-CAD.

You will design a layout for the book. You will likely need to research the different structural elements in the book book (i.e., code blocks, blockquotes, special quotes for commands, for manpages, etc.) and everything around like a front page, the font, etc. You will likely need to use the actual Doc Camp book content (at least some pages) to demonstrate a complete layout design.

Submit your design as a .pdf, .odt, set of images, or ask about other formats. Submit an editable format so we can make changes if needed. You're welcome to submit a rendered preview too.
