The document provides guidelines for designing double-page spreads in a yearbook layout. It discusses using a pica grid, placing elements in the center visual interest (CVI) and weak visual interest (WVI) areas, balancing elements across pages, following rules for a dominant photo and supporting elements, and designing panel pages with grouped photos in rectangles.

1. UNIT 6 -BASIC LAYOUT DOUBLE-PAGE SPREAD Two facing pages

3. There is a two-pica shaded area called the trim space. Copy should not be placed in this area. Do not put any copy in the gutter. Photos, however, can extend through the trim space for style… called “bleed off the page.”

4. Place important pictures, graphics or type in the CVI. The CVI usually falls somewhere on the right-hand page. The WVI usually falls at the bottom left-hand corner of the left page.

5. Pages are symmetrical.

6. Don’t settle for an unbalanced layout. This one isheavier on he left page and should be adjusted.

7. Elements have been rearranged to achieve visual balance. This is more pleasing to the eye.
