Blogging has been around for many years, and is a good way for people to talk about topics they’re passionate about, and share that passion with others online. However, the growth of video platforms such as YouTube has seen the emergence of another form of blogging: vlogging. While it can be argued that they are, in essence, the same thing, (mostly because the topics are usually the same) this article will show that blogging and vlogging have differences that make them sisters, not twins.
While it may seem that cookbooks all follow the same strict structure, you can actually play around and have fun with the layout. After all, you are the author of your own book, and YOU get to decide how to organise your content (provided it still makes sense at the end, of course).
According to the website Monde du Livre (2015), the first eBook was created in 1971, with Michael Hart’s Gutenberg Project. Since then, the eBook has evolved, and while it may not look like it, it actually can take several forms. There are different formats of eBook, some of which may be more appropriate depending on the intended use.
The cover is one of – if not the – most essential feature of a book. Indeed, it is the first thing potential buyers see when they pick up a book. While book covers are as diverse as the shape of snowflakes, they all display the same information: the title of the book, the name of the author, a picture, and maybe the publisher/imprint. However, this is the modern type of book cover, and as this article will show, they did not always look like that.
Before internet took over our life (which, said like that, sounds way scarier than it actually is), people either used cookbooks or family recipes to cook. Nowadays, in the era commonly known as ‘the digital age’, we have a plethora of options when it comes to finding inspiration for recipes.
We all know the old saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. And while it generally means we shouldn’t judge people purely based on their physical appearance, it is exactly what we do with actual books. The cover is the first thing we usually see when we pick up a book, if not the spine. It therefore needs to be compelling enough for readers to want to read the blurb and then maybe buy the book. But how exactly can a cover achieve this?
