Typography design brief introduction

Layout design refers to the full format design of the body of the book. In general. In addition to the cover, ring lining, and cover page, the preface is also included.

The total area occupied by text and graphics in each layout is called the stencil. The space above the version of the mind is called the head of the sky, and the following is called the foot, and the left and right sides are called the inner mouth and the outer mouth. The traditional Chinese typography is larger than the foot of the earth to make people use it for "browsing." Western style layout is from a visual point of view. The upper mouth is equivalent to two lower mouths. The outside mouth is equivalent to the two inner mouths, and the heart of the left and right sides are different, but the spreading heart is concentrated and linked to each other and has an overall compact feeling. At present, the domestic publications are basically in the middle of mind. The upper mouth is slightly wider than the lower mouth, and the outer mouth is wider than the inner mouth. However, some prefaces and the first page of the text leave a lot of blank space. The version is near the outside or bottom of the layout. In addition to the determination of the version of the mind, we must consider the form of binding, bookbinding, saddle stitching and bookbinding. The width of the inside should also be different. Can not be treated the same.

The size of the heart is determined according to the type of book: albums, albums In order to expand the picture effect, it is advisable to take a large version of the heart and even to deal with bleeding (no space around the picture); dictionaries, dictionaries, reference books, for reference only, plus More words and legends. And should not be too thick. Therefore, the enlarged version of the heart is narrowed; on the contrary, poetry and classics should be taken from the larger side of the small version of the heart is better; illustrated books, maps can be based on composition needs. Arrange larger sections than text. You can even arrange and bleeding across pages. And to make the two sides of the expansion echo and balance. Make the layout more vivid and lively. Gives people a sense of stretch. The layout of the text in the layout must also be ergonomic. Too long a word can bring fatigue to reading. Reduce reading speed. Therefore, generally 32 open books are typesetting. In 16 or more sweat water. The width of the printing plate is larger. If typesetting with No. 5 or No. 5 characters, it is advisable to shorten the length of the characters and arrange them in two columns. If it is not suitable for double columns, such as "preface", "postscript", etc. are arranged in large letters. Or reduce the version of the heart. Dictionaries, manuals, indexes, yearbooks, etc. Each paragraph is short. However, there are many sub-headings, but also need to use double-column, three-column, multi-column arrangement. The number of words per line in the column arrangement is equal. If the bar is empty or one word is empty, you can also put line spacing.
