A few thoughts on (physical) page layout…
Though I suppose much of this also applies to web page layout as well.
- White space matters.
- There is only so much room on a page.
- In most cases, there are only so many pages that can reasonably go into a book.
- The more things you want to cram onto a page, the less room there is for stylistic flourishes.
- White space matters.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go back to banging my head against InDesign.
