The front page, also called "inside page" or "title page", is the first page after the book cover is opened (that is, the first page after opening except the front cover and back cover). It usually contains important information such as title, author and publishing house. And some title pages will also supplement the title, author, publishing house and other items. The design of this page can add beauty to the book. Besides repeating the main words on the cover, you can also add decorative patterns and illustrations. Some books and periodicals will print the portrait of the author on the blank page of the front door, which is called "image page". In addition, some books will add pages such as "preface" and "preface" in front of the title page, which are usually printed in a color different from the original paper or in a simple set of colors to distinguish the original text.
The back page is the last page of the book, that is, the back cover faces forward. The back door is generally white, without pictures or illustrations, but it will be printed with information such as the title of the book, the name of the author and the name of the publishing house. Compared with the previous page, the design of the back page is more concise, mainly to let readers have a clear understanding of the basic information after reading the contents of the book. In addition, the back page can also be used as a "continuation" of the cover, and the two will have a certain echo in design and color.
Generally speaking, the front cover and back cover of books and periodicals are somewhat different in design and function. The front door is mainly used for decoration and providing important information, including book title, author, publishing house, etc. Sometimes there are illustrations or page numbers. The latter topic is mainly to provide basic information and enhance the overall aesthetic feeling of books, which is usually relatively simple.
