We’ll start by opening Photoshop and creating a new document. Next, we’re going to create our document in Adobe Photoshop. The fourth and final spread will be the end of my book, with the last interior page, or page four, on the left, and the back inside cover on the right. The third spread will be the next spread of interior pages, with page two on the left and page three on the right. The front inside cover will be on the left, and the first interior page, or page one, will be on the right. The second spread is going to be what I see when I open the cover of my book. With the back cover on the left, and the front cover on the right. The first spread is going to be my cover spread.
I can zoom out and see that my file consists of four spreads with eight total pages. Make sure that the slug is set to 0, and then click create. Any artwork that touches the edge of the page must extend ⅛ of an inch past the trim line to account for minor trimming variances when designing pages for offset printing. Lastly, I am also going to set my bleed to. 125 inches inside the trim line to ensure they won’t be trimmed off during production. Any important text and graphics must be at least. These margins will indicate the ⅛ safe zone on all sides of my spread. Following along with our interior page setup guide, I’m going to set my page margins to. I’m not going to add any columns to my document, but you can always adjust your columns after the document has been created, if that will help when designing the book.
#SIMPLE COMIC PAGE MARGIN FULL#
This will allow me to create my front and back covers as one full spread if I would like to have my artwork connect across the gutter. I’m also going to start on page two so that all of my eight pages will be in spreads. Next, I’m going to check facing pages so I can create my artwork in spreads. I’m going to make a four-page book, so I’m going to enter eight pages to account for the front and back covers, and the front and back inside covers, in addition to my four interior pages. For other binding types, the covers spread will be created separately, but for saddle-stitch books, the covers spread will be formatted identically to my interior pages, so I can add those pages to this document. However, since this will be a saddle-stitched book, I’m going to add two more pages to account for the front and back outside covers as well.
#SIMPLE COMIC PAGE MARGIN PLUS#
In our file setup guide, you will see that your number of pages in your file should be the page count of your book, plus two additional pages for the front and back inside covers. Next, we’re going to enter the number of pages in our file. For this video, we’ll be making a modern comic book, so I will enter 6.625 inches x 10.25 inches for the page size. Select Print, and then enter the trim size of your book in the width and height fields. We’ll start by opening Adobe InDesign and creating a new document. First, we will talk about setting up your document in InDesign. Here you can find file setup guides for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
