I suggested that if he was interested to save time, I could import his book photos into a layout program that had a pre-created template containing the back measurement wall, the call letter plaque, and a set of hands/arms that extended out from the book to hold the plaque. He was game for it, so I whipped out a sample of one book sign set, adding the additional elements of eyes to help complete the amorphization of the book--including a shadow behind each book--and the title to the plaque, then sent it to him for consideration.
He liked it enough to do the remaining books in the same fashion. By the next day, he had all of his book line-up images, each printed out on 11x17 inch pages. He would later add these to his larger display space being developed with a large banner headline and other visual elements that pulled the display all together.
For the adult display, the visual team wanted to utilize the same solution we used last year that showed 11x17 inch printouts of book covers along with a headline set into the series of book covers. We had such a good response from patrons last year over the display that we wanted to do it again, only this year we would show a different selection of books. Fortunately, we had already printed enough different books to choose from for last year that we didn't need to do any additional work for this year. The librarian selected among the unused covers and together we hung them up in rows across the display wall.
The total number of prints made for the adult selection from last year and finally used this year was 72 books. Total number of prints for the youth display was 20 books.
