1, approximate estimated number of pages and actual size of the book. With the basic framework, we can estimate the number of pages of each article according to the table of contents. For example, if the book is expected to have 200 pages and 100 articles, it stands to reason that each article should have two pages. But it's not that simple. Assigning pages is like solving an extremely complicated problem. It is difficult to know exactly how much space there is before you really start layout design. Therefore, the allocation of pages often depends on a lot of estimation, followed by a lot of trial and error.

3. Design the cover of this book. Cover design is one of the primary tasks of book layout design, and I am afraid it is also the last task to be completed!
