Book layout
PublishingThe visual arrangement of a book's pages, including margins, typography, headings and images.
Example
The layout allows a wider inner margin and omits running heads on chapter-opening pages.
Book layout organizes content on the page through trim size, margins, line width, headings, images and recurring elements. It influences both readability and the character of the edition.
A layout needs testing with representative material, including long headings, notes and dense pages. A print design does not always transfer directly to a reflowable digital format.
In the workshop
Test the layout on difficult pages before applying it to the whole book.
