= Design = == Dummy == Highly recommended: making a dummy. This way you can see the order of your pages, double check typing mistakes, practice the binding, etc. == Handling the content: editorial design == How do you visually tell the story you want to tell? What images do you choose? Do you have photos or illustrations? How much text is in my publication? == Design software == Do you use InDesign? Illustrator? How do you make a printable PDF? == Typography == How do I handle text in a visual way? Should it be read (or not)? How do I choose a typeface? == Paper choice == What kind of paper will you choose? Do you have a bottomless budget that allows you to use the most expensive paper? Does this choice work well with the chosen printing technique? And does this choice work well with the way you want to bind your publication? == Binding choice == How are you going to bind your publication? Are you going to hand bind it? Do you have time for that? This is also related to the number of editions you want to print. Or will you use the glue binding machine? Or maybe a wire-o? And how does this choice affect the way you have to prepare your PDF? ===Loose page binding=== ====Glue binding machine==== doesn't open 180 <br> with the machine can't do a3 but can do that by hand <br> it will get loose with time <br> if paper is very thick it will get loose fast <br> have to make sure you have enough margins ====Wire-o binding==== [[File:Wireo.png|right|frameless|411x411px]] flips 360 <br> you have to keep some margins in your design for the holes <br> you have to cut the pages to size before the binding <br> there are different colours at the Print Studio <br> You can buy your own wire but check which ones work with the machine at the Print Studio *See guide to Hole puncher and Wire-o http://ps.wdka.nl/wiki/Quickstartguide:HolePuncher <br> http://ps.wdka.nl/wiki/Quickstartguide:Wire-o ====Screw Binding==== [[File:Screwbinding.png|right|frameless|341x341px]] doesn't open 180 <br> you can add and subtract from it as long as the there is space on the screw *For making the holes see the paper drill guide http://ps.wdka.nl/wiki/index.php?title=Quickstartguide:PaperDrill&action=edit&redlink=1 ====Japanese binding==== doesn't open 180 <br> time consuming <br> can make the pattern yourself <br> paper can not be to thick <br> make sure you have enough margins <br> ===Multiple pages binding=== ====Hand binding==== time consuming <br> different threat options <br> no size limit <br> consider how many pages in one folding, that will change the way you export your pdf <br> ====Staple binding==== there is a limit to how many pages can be bound this way <br> opens 180 <br>
