A note about setting up Bleed

If you refer to THE WORLDS FASTEST PRINT LAYOUT LESSON then you can pretty much figure out how to do the next step. If the pagespread measures 20x8" then if we add a one quater inch bleed all round we get a final dimension of 20.5 x 8.5".

This is the most important measurement in the entire document. I set up a 54 page doecument in Indesign with a page dimesion of 8x10, specified Facing Pages, added my bleed setting and placed a 1 inch slug around the entire document.

All of my illustrations will be set up on a 20.5 x 8.5" document in Illustrator.

Oh yeah, thats Rule #5, no Photoshop, all illustrations are going to be done in Illustrator. This is a new one for me and I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Its time to start graphic designing. I need a title logo to set the mood.
