topic 5: page layout
The general workflow of setting up the layout of a page include deciding on the page size, the stock, trimming to the size of the page, and finally designing the layout of the page within the boundaries of the trimmed size. All this requires some knowledge about paper and page sizes, proportions, margins, and design grids.
