After our work with Ben Martin on “El Síndrome de Carla“, we were once again entrusted with the layout of this new work, and we are deeply grateful that they have chosen to collaborate with us again.
At Trazando.es we are thrilled to have participated in the layout of “HTO: Hostile Takeover, El legado de Henry Bobson”, a science fiction novel that merges corporate conspiracies, action, and futuristic technology. Written by Ben Martin y Colten Connors, this novel transports us to the year 2084, into a world where power and survival are fought over in boardrooms and in the shadows of society.
One of the most striking visual aspects of this work is its cover, created by the talented illustrator Borja Pindado, who has perfectly captured the essence of the story in a stunning and evocative image.
El reto de la maquetación
At Trazando.es, we faced an exciting challenge: to create a dynamic and immersive layout that would enhance the narrative and elevate the reading experience.
Formatos
Tapa dura y tapa blanda
We meticulously worked on the composition of the hardcover and paperback,
versions, ensuring a comfortable typography for reading and a well-balanced arrangement of visual elements. With over 400 pages, each chapter was structured to facilitate reader immersion, using appropriate margins and modern fonts that evoke the technological and cyberpunk style of the HTO universe.
Additionally, the physical edition also integrates QR codes, allowing readers to access exclusive content, adding an extra layer of interactivity to the book.
Digital Experience:
The eBook Version
The eBook version of “HTO: Hostile Takeover, El legado de Henry Bobson“
is not just a simple digital conversion of the physical book. Its design has been optimized for smooth reading on tablets, e-readers, and smartphones, with an adaptable format that maintains visual quality without compromising the narrative.
What makes it even more innovative is the implementation of QR codes throughout the book. These codes allow readers to access exclusive content such as, illustrations, Archival documents with additional information and more.
This approach transforms the reading experience into a fully immersive journey, aligning with the cutting-edge spirit of the novel.
A Work That Goes Beyond the Page
Thanks to the trust of Ben Martin and Colten Connors, we have been able to apply our skills in design and layout to transform HTO: Hostile Takeover into a work that transcends traditional books. Our goal was to ensure that every reader not only enjoys the story but also feels like an integral part of the universe the authors have created.
