Books, handbooks and publications should be easy to read, open and use. Catalogs prioritize images, notebooks need a suitable writing surface. Size, paper and binding method should be chosen with the content.
Identify key user actions
Determine whether to use on the table, carry or look up at the counter. Finalize the size and page numbers before finalizing the layout. Notebooks need writing space and margins; Catalogs need a sequence to help find products.
With corporate gift books, identification should be appropriate to the time of use. Short-term campaign content on the cover can make the notebook difficult to continue using.
Browse genuine papers with real content
| Content type | Sample should try |
|---|---|
| Take notes | Pens commonly used by users, draw on both sides |
| Product photo | Photos have bright areas, dark areas and difficult colors |
| Letters and tables | The page is thick with information at the bottom font size |
| The page has a dark background | Print color and scratches when flipped |
Try the correct paper code with a pen or key image. See double-sided features, see-through and flip feel. Quantity is not enough to know whether the paper is good or the image is clearly printed.
The closure style affects margins and openness
Staple, glue, thread or spring binding has different requirements for page number and opening. Ask about process limits and make samples near the last page number; Photos of thin rolls do not represent thick rolls.
Leave an inside margin so the text doesn't hide in the spine. For double-page spreads, check the seams when opening. The cover, inside and spine should be seen as a complete book.
Lock page order using a common review
Agree on how to count covers, blank pages, and inserts. Check order, facing pages and end files; Avoid combining multiple separate updates to confuse old pages.
If the parameter table is edited after the color sample, the final content needs to be reviewed. Correct color does not prove product data or page order is correct.
Acceptance of a complete book
Flip from end to end to check for missing pages, reverses, edges and spine bonds. With notebooks, try writing at the beginning, middle, and end; With catalogs, try finding a product by layout.
