This post is merely a placeholder for my layout grid notes for the two books I am preparing. This will allow me to reference them if there are any future amendments to make:
- Each page is designed on a 28cm x 21cm landscape layout.
- Each image has been designed and cropped to a 4×3 ratio.
- Each image is set within a 4cm left and right margin, and a 3cm top and bottom margin.
- Each book page is to be bound with a flat layout therefore no account has currently been made for gutters etc, but this may need to be reviewed at publishing stage.
- The small shop images are 4.2cm high
- Each text box is centred on the page within a box with a 5cm top and bottom margin, and a 7cm left and right margin.
- The title within any main text is Arial Bold 12 font; the main body text is Arial 9 font with a 14 point leading.
- The cover image has a 7cm right and left border, with a Arial Bold 24pt font.
