What do you need to make a picture album?

This problem involves the basic composition and printing method of the album, which is explained as follows:

First, the basic composition:

1) component

Whether an album conforms to the evaluation basis of visual aesthetic feeling. Including graphic composition, color composition and spatial composition. The perfect performance of the three components can enhance the design quality and corporate connotation of the album.

2) Plane composition

Basic form in graphic design: in graphic design, it consists of a group of identical or similar images, and each unit becomes a basic form and is the smallest unit. The best composition effect can be obtained by arranging and combining according to certain composition principles.

1. combination: in composition, the combination relationship between shapes is generated due to basic combination.

2. Separation: There is no connection between shapes and there is a certain distance. Painting collection

3. Contact: The edges between shapes are just tangent.

4. Overlapping: There is an overlapping relationship between shapes, resulting in a spatial relationship of up and down, front and back, left and right.

5 transparent overlap: the transparency between shapes overlaps each other, but it does not produce the spatial relationship between the top and bottom.

6. Combination: Shape and shape are combined with each other to form a larger new shape.

7. subtraction: the shapes cover each other and the covered areas are cut off.

8. Overlapping: The shapes overlap with each other, and new shapes are generated where they overlap.

9. Coincidence: The shapes coincide with each other and become one.

Second, the printing method:

1) print point

Photo album printing is a special printing technology. Exquisitely printed picture books can bring readers better enjoyment of beauty. The following is to introduce the related matters of photo album printing technology for everyone.

2) Anti-counterfeiting of paper

Paper is the material basis for printing all kinds of securities, and some special papers made by special processes basically have anti-counterfeiting characteristics. The anti-counterfeiting technologies used in special paper mainly include:

1. Watermark paper

In the manufacturing process of watermark paper, the required marks and patterns can be made into paper by technical means. These patterns are not easy to see under normal circumstances and can only be seen under strong light. It is recognized as an effective anti-counterfeiting technology by anti-counterfeiting experts all over the world. In most countries, banknotes, important international documents, facility drawings and various tickets are also printed with watermark paper. Besides paper money, watermark is also widely used in other papers. Watermark has fixed, unfixed and semi-fixed positions in paper. In the manufacturing process, complicated technological processes such as design, carving, netting and papermaking are integrated, so counterfeiters are often at a loss. Checking the watermark is also one of the most effective means to identify the authenticity.

2. Safety line

Safety thread refers to putting a gold thread or plastic thread in the middle of the paper when making paper. The earliest safety thread was made of special gold thread and plastic thread, and later developed into various types, such as micro-letter safety thread and fluorescent safety thread. The shape of safety thread is straight, wavy and zigzag.

3. Silk or colored dots

In the process of papermaking, red and blue fibers or colored small pieces (dots) are mixed into the pulp, or dispersed on the paper surface before the paper is formed, which has fluorescence reflection under ultraviolet irradiation. There are two kinds of red and blue fibers and color spots in paper: fixed position and unfixed position.

4. Anti-copying paper

After copying this paper, the words "copy" and "invalid" will appear, which can effectively prevent color copying of important documents. Another kind of full absorption copy-proof paper has a blue or brownish red appearance, and the pictures and texts on the paper can only be seen through light, and its copy is dark.

5. Non-fluorescent paper

Generally speaking, paper will fluoresce under ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, banknote printing paper and some valuable securities or bills use non-fluorescent special paper for anti-counterfeiting. For example, the paper bases of banknotes, passports and some tickets in various countries are not fluorescent, and with additional mnemonics, it is easier to expose fluorescent pictures and texts.

3) printing step

1. Printing planning

Printing planning is a collocation design aiming at the theme. We should carefully check the printing method, layout size, the subject matter of printed matter, the color number of paper or printing, and even the selection of related processing plants, so that each production process can go online smoothly and complete exquisite finished products.

2. Design and production

Copywriting, design, layout planning, etc. According to the printing plan is the pre-operation procedure for making the finished manuscript. At the same time, it is also necessary to arrange photography and illustration drawing, contact cooperative manufacturers, coordinate the itinerary between production rooms, and make various elements concrete.

Make a final draft

According to the first draft of typesetting plan, the copy, photos and illustrations, correct position and correct color labeling are arranged on the finished paper in turn or processed in electronic form, and the special requirements for plate making are clearly indicated. This is the preliminary operation of plate making.

Album 4. Output and plate-making operations

After the finished draft enters the plate making, the pictures are scanned and separated by an electronic color separator, the characters and lines are photographed by a black-and-white camera, and the correct number of screens (printing dots) are printed, and then the characters and illustrations are spelled out according to the instructions on the finished draft, and then the printing operation is carried out, and then the color proofs are printed and sent back to the designer for proofreading. If the manuscript is completed electronically, it must be submitted to the output center to output the negative. It is necessary to fill in the operation sheet or instruction sheet of mountain transportation in detail, and clearly indicate the number of lines to be output, the number of pages in color and monochrome, and whether there are words, specifications and quantities. , to avoid communication errors and unnecessary losses.

CTP plate-making technology is applied in more and more printing houses in China, which greatly reduces the cost of output film and film and shortens the plate-making time!

Proofreading homework

This is the last step before printing, that is, to check whether the color proofing conforms to the procedures indicated in the final draft. When there are color corrections and other corrections, you must write a specific and easy-to-understand text description or position outline in red pen, and correctly convey it to the plate-making personnel to avoid unnecessary losses.

6. Printing operation

Turn the corrected four-color screen into a printing plate, send it to a printing machine and start formal printing. In order to get ideal printed products on the printing press, we must first understand the printing factors, because there are many variable factors that have great influence on the printing quality. Therefore, you must have a certain and full understanding of these factors.

7. Binding and processing operations

The last process of publicizing (public relations) manuals, catalogues, brochures, etc. , commonly known as DM and printed matter, is binding processing. Generally, it is cut, pressed, folded, etc. It is the most commonly used single-chip flat type. As for binding, it depends on the number of pages, the type of paper used, the degree of exquisiteness, and the way and purpose of use.
