After adding all the content the final PDF was ready for test printing. A large-scale photograph that has elements of the city and rural areas was chosen so that the front cover is not completely white; as mentioned in the design considerations stages, purely white book covers are a nightmare as they become marked and dirty fairly easily, which can prevent people from wanting to pick up the publication and read it. This image prevents the spine and majority of the front cover from being damaged in this sense.
Bleed marks and crop marks were added so that the pages could be cut out correctly. For test prints, the library printers were going to be used. This isn't very accurate but was a cheap, fast way to make some test prints.
