Automation of the book cover creation process

Abstract

The article conducts research to improve the process of designing book covers in the direction of automation. The stages of the book cover design process are explained. The tools that allow to automate the construction of the cover layout are investigated. To do this, we suggest using scripts in Adobe Illustrator. The process of adding a script and its work is described. The tools for automation of the stage of creating the original layout of the book cover are investigated. A database has been developed to speed up the process of selecting illustrations. To implement this task, the development environment of SQL Server management studio / Visual studio, T-SQL language was chosen. C # was used to describe the image gallery. Based on the analysed theoretical material and developed software elements, the method of designing book covers was formulated. The practical result is the elements of software for automation of individual parts of the process of designing book covers publications.
