The teacher asked us to write a book about Chinese characters. How to design the cover?

1, blank

Typesetting design doesn't have to be complete, so leave some blanks to avoid being crowded.

2. Font

The first is to pay attention to the choice of fonts, and the second is to pay attention to not too many fonts. For magazine typesetting design, we must pay attention to the collocation of English fonts and Chinese fonts. Chinese and English fonts must be high-profile and consistent in style. English with a thick song style and Chinese with medium lines cannot be combined into one. It is better to have less than three facial fonts, at least three sizes and at least three background colors.

Step 3: Column

There are many words. You can list first. Columns will make it easier to read the full text. Secondly, pay attention to the same font size, line spacing and word spacing, but don't make it too crowded. Even if the text is deleted.

4. Layout

There should be invisible rectangular boxes and invisible alignment lines in layout design.

5, typesetting

Unity, balance and rhythm in typesetting design.

6, color block

In the application of color blocks in layout design, it is often necessary to choose the colors in the graphics.

7. Reading habits

Note that people are used to looking at pictures from top to bottom and from walking to the right.

8. Picture layout

When there are many pictures, frame them. Keep the original shape of the picture, and remember not to stretch and scale the picture with still life at will unless you are doing something abstract. Otherwise, the object will be ugly if it is deformed.

Elements of book cover design:

Book cover design mainly considers three elements: book title, author's name and publishing house.

Generally speaking, the title of the book is located in the middle of the cover, and the font is the largest. If there is a subtitle, it must be followed by the main title, and the font is generally smaller than the main title 1~2.

If the title is vertical, the binding direction is from left to right, and the title is generally arranged at the upper left, near the spine. The binding direction is from left to right and vice versa.

For books with small author names and horizontal titles, the author name should be placed at the lower right of the title or in the middle below the title. The font size of the author's name should be smaller than the main title and subtitle.

There is usually a social symbol in front of the name of a publishing house. The name of the publishing house is located at the middle bottom of the book, more than 0.5cm away from the finished product line at the bottom of the cover. The font size of the name of a publishing house is usually stipulated by the publishing house. If there is no specific provision, it should be adjusted reasonably according to the size of the book layout.
