How about a template for visual works - Children’s books and Graphic Novels, for example - where the power and pacing of the developing manuscript is dependent on page count?
I’m not talking about a layout program. I’ll move on to InDesign when I’m ready for that…
But while writing, designing, and brainstorming I’d love a cork-board view option that allows me to keep the visual layout (pages and spreads)of my book in mind - dragging developing content/notes/scribbles around against a fixed structure.
Maybe it could be as simple as a background option that shows up under ‘freeform corkboard’ and allows the user to move index cards against a template. I’ll attach a crude example…
Fancy options might accommodate various page numbers (16, 32, 64, custom # pages) ratios (square pages, portrait, landscape), display or not show cover and end pages.
Export could be to a standard manuscript format - suitable for submission to publishers.
I would LOVE this. Can design my own bkgd images for freeform corkboard mode, but it would be amazing as an integrated and interactive feature.
Thanks for your consideration!
