The body layout design is the focus of book binding, and the following points should be paid attention to when designing: the relationship between the category, size, kerning and line spacing of the body font; the font and font size meet the requirements of people of different ages; there is appropriate blank space around the text layout to make the reader feel comfortable and beautiful when reading; the printing color of the body text and the color of the paper should meet the needs of the reading function; the position of the illustration in the body and the relationship with the body and layout should be appropriate The interspersing of color illustrations and texts should meet the needs of the content and increase the reader's reading interest.
The total area occupied by each layout Chinese words and graphics is called the layout center. The space above the center is called the heavenly head, and the lower space is called the earth's foot. The size of the layout is determined according to the type of book: albums, albums In order to expand the picture effect, it is advisable to take a large edition of the heart, and even bleeding treatment; dictionaries, dictionaries, and reference books are only for reference, plus the number of words and legends, and should not be too thick, so the expansion of the layout should be reduced to the edge; on the contrary, poetry and classic works should take the large border mouth and small plate heart is better; the book with pictures and texts, the picture can arrange a space larger than the text according to the needs of the composition, and can even be arranged across pages and bleeding processing.
In the typography design Chinese word arrangement should also be ergonomic. Lines that are too long will bring fatigue to reading, which will reduce the reading speed, and the kerning and line spacing should be moderate. For example, children's books are often sparsely arranged; the layout of art books often pursues novelty, breaking the general law of word spacing and line spacing. According to the content of the book, it is generally based on the level of chapters, chapters and sections, from largest to smallest. The decoration of chapters and chapters pays attention to the unity of the overall style of binding.
The title page is the page after the cover of the book, before the main text, and is a single page with the title of the book, the name of the publisher, and the name of the author. The title page is an integral part of the book binding design, which is a bridge between the cover and the inside of the book, which plays a role in connecting the appearance and the body, and is the focus of the interior design of the book.
artistry. In the design of the title page, the use of painting, photography, calligraphy and other design means, combined with the corresponding artistic expression techniques, can play a bridge role in the connection between the cover and the content, and has aesthetic value.
Ideological. When the title page is designed, we must pay attention to the theme idea of reflecting the content of the book, a good book decoration design must not ignore the design of the title page, if the design of the title page is empty and lacks thought, then it is a defect in the overall design of the book.
Coordination. The integrity of book design is the most important principle of decoration design. The title page is an integral part of the overall design of book binding, and its design should be coordinated and unified with the cover and other designs, but it should not be noisy. No part of a book is designed individually, and all parts are harmonious to produce the beauty of the book.
Novelty. When designing books, designers should inject innovative design ideas into the design. Modern design not only has aesthetic problems, but also functional, scientific and technological, new materials, new processes, designers should continue to absorb modern scientific and technological means, update the design concept, so that the design of the work is more novel.
The catalog is an important part of the book, recording the title, author, publication and collection of the book, arranged in a fixed order, and is a tool to guide reading and retrieving books. The table of contents is an important source of information prompts for the entire book, a guide system for books, a source for readers to request information, and a prompt tool for reading.
The table of contents is generally located after the preface, before the main text, or after the main text. There are many forms of table of contents, but as a layout of the book, the design should be consistent with the overall style of the whole book.
In today's society of increasing attention to design, some need to design, need to improve, need to innovate need to break the convention, need to make a breakthrough in the undesigned field often becomes a new continent of design, where it can develop freely, can be imaginative, can try, can fail, can innovate, can boldly break through. And catalogs are such a new continent in the whole book design.
