1, blank

Typesetting design doesn't have to be complete, so leave some blanks to avoid being crowded.

2. Font

The first is to pay attention to the choice of fonts, and the second is to pay attention to not too many fonts. For magazine typesetting design, we must pay attention to the collocation of English fonts and Chinese fonts. Chinese and English fonts must be high-profile and consistent in style. English with a thick song style and Chinese with medium lines cannot be combined into one. It is better to have less than three facial fonts, at least three sizes and at least three background colors.

Step 3: Column

There are many words. You can list first. Columns will make it easier to read the full text. Secondly, pay attention to the same font size, line spacing and word spacing, but don't make it too crowded. Even if the text is deleted.

4. Layout

There should be invisible rectangular boxes and invisible alignment lines in layout design.

5, typesetting

Unity, balance and rhythm in typesetting design.

6, color block

In the application of color blocks in layout design, it is often necessary to choose the colors in the graphics.

7. Reading habits

Note that people are used to looking at pictures from top to bottom and from walking to the right.

8. Picture layout

When there are many pictures, frame them. Keep the original shape of the picture, and remember not to stretch and scale the picture with still life at will unless you are doing something abstract. Otherwise, the object will be ugly if it is deformed.

Elements of book cover design:

Book cover design mainly considers three elements: book title, author's name and publishing house.

Generally speaking, the title of the book is located in the middle of the cover, and the font is the largest. If there is a subtitle, it must be followed by the main title, and the font is generally smaller than the main title 1~2.

If the title is vertical, the binding direction is from left to right, and the title is generally arranged at the upper left, near the spine. The binding direction is from left to right and vice versa.

For books with small author names and horizontal titles, the author name should be placed at the lower right of the title or in the middle below the title. The font size of the author's name should be smaller than the main title and subtitle.

There is usually a social symbol in front of the name of a publishing house. The name of the publishing house is located at the middle bottom of the book, more than 0.5cm away from the finished product line at the bottom of the cover. The font size of the name of a publishing house is usually stipulated by the publishing house. If there is no specific provision, it should be adjusted reasonably according to the size of the book layout.

How to typeset a book by yourself? See below:

Make a book with WORD typesetting, put a piece of A4 paper horizontally, and then make it into two halves. A page can have two page numbers, with odd page numbers on the left and even page numbers on the right. After editing, click "Preview" on the right side of the computer screen to see the 3D renderings.

How to design and typeset books? (1) The cover (also known as cover, cover, cover and writing style) is printed with the title of the book, the name of the author, the name of the translator and the name of the publishing house. Cover plays a role in beautifying books and protecting book blocks.

(2) The inner cover (also called the second cover) refers to the back cover of the cover. Envelopes are generally blank, but they are often used in journals to print catalogues or related pictures.

(3) The back cover (also called the third cover) refers to the inner page of the back cover. The back cover is generally a blank page, but it is often used to print words and pictures outside the text or other words in periodicals.

(4) Books on the back cover (also called back cover 4 and back cover) should be printed with a uniform book number and pricing at the lower right of the back cover, and periodicals should be printed with copyright pages on the back cover, or used for printing catalogues and other non-literal words and pictures.

(5) spine (also known as back cover) spine refers to the spine connecting the front cover and the back cover. The spine of the book is generally printed with the title of the book, the number of volumes (volumes, collections, volumes), the author's name, the translator's name and the name of the publishing house, which is easy to find.

(6) The book crown refers to the part with the title printed on the cover.

(7) Footprint Footprint refers to the part with the name of the publishing unit printed below the cover.

(8) The title page (also called back cover or sub-cover) refers to the page after the cover or lining of a book and before the text. The title page is generally printed with the title of the book, the name of the author or translator, the publishing house and the year of publication. The title page also plays a decorative role, increasing the aesthetic feeling of books.

(9) Inserting refers to printing and inserting a single page in a book, and printing graphics or tables where the layout exceeds the layout. Sometimes it also refers to a page whose layout does not exceed the layout, the paper is the same size as the layout, but printed with a different paper or color from the original.

(10) Chapter page (also called middle title page or independent page) refers to a single page with the name of the article, series or chapter printed before the beginning of each article and chapter in the text. The chapter page can only be left blank, with single code and double code. After the double code is inserted into the text page, it is generally calculated according to the password or regardless of the page number. Chapter pages are sometimes printed on colored paper to show the difference.

(1 1) Table of Contents is a record of chapter and section titles in books and periodicals, which plays the role of subject index and is convenient for readers to find. The table of contents is usually placed in front of the main body of books and periodicals (due to the limitation of the number of printed pages of periodicals, the table of contents is often placed on the second, third or fourth cover).

(12) copyright page copyright page refers to the record page of the version.
