Today it is impossible to imagine the world without books. For example, in today’s bookstores the shelves are filled with millions of works of all kinds of genres and formats. Meanwhile, some authors publish a lot and constantly, but others make do with a few copies for their acquaintances. Nevertheless, in spite of the seeming costliness and high prices, the printing of publications, as well as the layout of books at one’s own expense in small volumes, has become widespread today.

The layout is, first of all, the process of arranging the text, illustrations, and various graphic objects in the form in which they will be presented in the finished edition. In addition, at this stage we see for the first time what the book will be like in general form. But most importantly, some changes can still be made here. The layout stage, however, takes from three days to two weeks. as a consequence, it is at this stage that the publication gets its final look.
There are special approved rules for the layout of the book. Let’s consider them first:
Composite.
Hygienic.
Unity and style.

The classification is made according to one characteristic – the type of literature.
Book and magazine
A standard set of rules is taken as the basis. In addition, there is a special set of techniques for working with illustrations in magazines.
Newspaper
It is fundamentally different from the previous type. Newspapers, first of all, are not only characterized by a different arrangement of text and illustrations. In addition, free rules of transposition are possible.
Accidental layout
Used in the development of layouts for various printed products. For example, postcards, flyers, flyers, business cards, posters, etc.
Meanwhile, book cover layout is also a separate service. Creative designers create cover layouts according to the internal content or the customer’s specifications. Above all, they select fonts and color schemes. To summarize: such publications induce the consumer to a specific action – the purchase of the product.

Do you think that your child is already on the finish line? You’re wrong. After you have made the layout of your book, there are a few more steps to take. First of all, the next step is to check the layout. Again, the work begins: editor, scientific editor, proofreader and translator. After all, during the make-up errors may have appeared, for example, illogical transfer of text or other inaccuracies. Therefore, the layout is reread and checked again. This is a very important stage, when all the specialists read for the first time not the manuscript, but the book layout! All specialists will take a new look at the previously laid out text – this is the most important thing.
Similarly, it is necessary to correct the layout. All errors and inaccuracies that were detected at the previous stage, after that are corrected again in the layout of the future book – layout.
Every author is primarily interested in the cost of book layout. If we talk about rates for the service, we do not have a clear price list. As each book, respectively, each order is unique and has its own degree of complexity. For example, for an exact calculation of the cost our managers need to see the document and assess the volume of work together with the typesetter. Thus, our regular clients have the privilege of a flexible system of discounts.
We, of course, if necessary, carry out computer typing, but if further you pass in the work ready electronic file with the material. In this case, first of all, the price for the layout of the book will be significantly reduced.
Wishing to save money, authors try to do the layout of the book themselves. It can be done, but it is difficult. In short, first of all, there are certain technological requirements for the parameters of the layout. Therefore, it would be better if you send us a “clean” text. And we will turn it into a book layout according to your wishes.
