Prepress Preparation, ContinuedMarginsMargins act as a frame to keep the readers attention focused on the text.Even margins are monotonous and narrow margins make reading difficult. Awell-designed page contains a mass of type pleasingly framed in white space.The margins of a single page layout should have equal left- and right-handmargins with the bottom margin slightly larger than the top margin. Whensetting opposing pages, the margins that join the pages together, or innermargins, are made narrower than all other margins. When opened, thisgutter of white space should equal the width of the extreme left or rightmargin. The top margin is larger than the outside margins and the largestmargin of all is at the bottom of the page.Figure 1-20 shows the margins of a single page and an opposing page layout.Figure 1-20.—Margins with thedimension "E" denoting equalamounts of space.1-25
