Magazine typesetting

The layout of the magazine is arranged according to the opposite page. That is to say, when the left and right pages add up, experienced designers and typesetters will leave 1~2cm bleeding in the middle seam (middle seam bleeding is the gap left by preventing words from being nailed inside when binding), but the amount of bleeding left by different binding methods is different, so you can typeset the whole page according to your own ideas in general typesetting, without paying attention to many estimates. You may be a novice, and many precautions depend on warp. Don't worry about accumulating slowly. After the album design is completed, if you enter the printing room, you must communicate with the printing house in time. Now there are artists and color proofreaders in the printing house. Their computer will add bleeding size to your source file according to the binding method you need. I suggest you use professional typesetting software when designing. The above dimensions are strict, and most of the data needed for typesetting are for reference. For example, there is a software called AI, which is relatively easy to use. I'd like to add that the typesetting suggestions of China Pictorial, Magazine and Album all follow the big characters.

There are also some unwritten hidden rules, for example, don't have full-page text, don't have full-page scattered pictures. Graphics can be cut and overlapped, but try to avoid arrangement.

Then the biggest habit is that a pair of pages are basically big pictures and small pictures, and a paragraph of text is inserted, or there must be big pictures and small pictures in the typesetting of scattered words and a p. A magazine should try not to be full of words and small pictures, or the whole text.

If you still don't understand, please ask. I hope it will be helpful to you and I hope it will be adopted.
