Layout and Design

A computer is used to size text and define line breaks. These pages are laid out in full size spreads with sketches in position. Artists use these layouts to guide their work.

Behind each of the 160 illuminations that  appear in the seven volumes of The Saint John’s Bible there is a story — a theological story. To learn more about how a committee of artists, medievalists, theologians, biblical scholars and art historians creates these theological stories, see Theological Briefs.
