How to design the cover of the notebook, and what paper is generally used to make the cover of the n

5 Principles for Doing a Good Cover Design:

It's better to keep it simple. Simplicity makes the design intent clear, and clear graphics can have a strong visual impact. Zhonghui Design believes that it is necessary to create a rich picture with as few design elements as possible.

Remove all superfluous things, don't finish the design language, and leave room for the reader's imagination.

It's better to be stable than chaotic. Sometimes it is emphasized that the design of the book should be fresh and lively, with a modern feel, but the implication is a relationship in the overall design. As long as one or two of the design elements in a cover are dynamic, they can show a strong sense of movement.

If all the elements are in a state of instability, it is chaos, not liveliness.

Rather be bright than dark. The cover should be as bright as possible.

Articulate clearly. Master some of the technical vocabulary, nouns and concepts of the book content, and find ways to resonate with readers.

Multi-use paradigms. Multi-use examples are a good way to do it succinctly and effectively. When you find it difficult to explain your intentions in words, you can find some book design samples that are similar to your own ideas and find the closest reference.

Looking at more examples can also be eye-catching, which is one of the important ways to improve aesthetic cultivation.

The cover of the notebook can choose some more fresh ** to let him do the aspects of the notebook, which can make people have a very open and comfortable feeling.

Design positioning.

The cover design steps are as follows.

1. First of all, the type of positioning, and then determine the concept and style of the design, such as the color matching of women's books to highlight the sense of dignified fashion. For example, the color matching of internal reference magazines should be based on a stable atmosphere. Children's books, for example, need to use highly saturated colors and lively layouts.

2. After determining the design style, the next thing to consider is what the theme of the book is, which is very important, because no matter how good the design idea is, it does not reflect the theme, and it is also a soulless design, so the design theme must be ranked in the most important and conspicuous place when designing, so as to give people visual impact.

3. After the theme is determined, it is nothing more than to skillfully arrange the materials and elements prepared in advance on the design layout to achieve a beautiful and generous effect, and the details of the elements do not need too much, which is easy to cause a chaotic visual sense to people.

4. After the first draft is completed, you need to put down a period of time before reviewing your work, do further details such as color, font, etc., and adjust it to your satisfaction before you can order it.

It depends on what software you use to operate it.

1. Professional ones are InDesign, Coreldraw, Illustrator or PS.

2. Word is also available.

General steps: 1. Set the size of the cover.

2. Set the size in the software, centimeters or millimeters.

3. Design the main judgment diagram within the size range. It is best to adjust the **** to 300 points. The text doesn't matter.

4. If you print a small amount, you can directly follow this size; If it is printing, it is necessary to add 3 millimeters of cutting bleeding to the periphery of the size, and it should be only 2 mm on the top and bottom, left and right.

Go buy stickers and print them out with a printer. It's the kind of sticker for headshots, stationery stores, what sells fax paper, and where printing paper is sold. Then stick the ear cavity and trap it in the notebook.

When pasting, be careful not to stick the whole sheet together. Align first, then press, lift a corner and paste it first, and then slowly scrape it in little by little. You can start by practising with guessing transparent glue.

If you can't find the stickers, you can take them to the photo shop and ask them to dry the stickers. Or, go to the spray painting company to spray the adhesive, but the pixel is low, not so clear, but it may be thin and easy to stick.

Of course, you can also directly glue the ** with glue.

After it is done, it is recommended to wrap the hem, the beauty point of view. You can use ribbons to make folds first.

Kraft paper, PU leather, discoloration, PU leather, genuine leather, all kinds of leather.

The cover is mainly composed of ** and text, and two main software, Photoshop and Illustrator, are both from Adobe.

From the functional point of view, Photoshop can be divided into images, image compositing, color correction and special effects production parts.

Image is the basis of image processing, and various transformations can be performed on the image such as zooming in, zooming out, rotating, tilting, mirroring, perspective, etc. It can also be used to copy, remove spots, repair, and retouch damaged images. This is very useful in wedding photography and portrait processing, to tease the unsatisfactory parts of the portrait, beautify and process, and get very satisfactory results.

Image synthesis is to synthesize several images through layer operations and tool applications to synthesize complete images that convey clear meaning, which is the only way for art design. Photoshop provides drawing tools that allow foreign images to blend well with ideas, making it possible to compose images seamlessly.

Correcting color is one of the powerful functions in Photoshop, which can easily and quickly adjust and correct the color of the image, and can also switch between different colors to meet the application of images in different fields such as web design, printing, and more.

In Photoshop, special effects production is mainly done by the comprehensive application of filters, channels and tools. Including the creation of special effects of images and the production of special effects words, such as oil painting, relief, plaster painting, sketching and other commonly used traditional art techniques can be completed by photoshop special effects.

Illustrator is primarily used for vector operations, with the help of more than 80 OpenType?0?3 Fonts, paragraph and character styles, paragraph typography, underlining and strikethrough, transparency effects, and more Easily create fonts with professional control.

Design elements. Although some journals have added secondary packaging plastic envelopes to show the upscale, the main thing is to show its publicity effect through the cover of Tongzen Potato, and the cover design is still the hardware of the journal's image.

1. Highlight the logo and the name of the journal to facilitate readers' identification, strengthen readers' memory of the unique art symbols of the journal, and lay a good foundation for brand building.

3. Reflect its own style, and reflect the overall unity in continuity and change. In the absence of mature consideration, lack of sufficient market research or no major changes in the positioning of the publication, it is best not to change the cover design style significantly, so that the publication appears in front of readers with a completely unfamiliar face, which will greatly affect the publication of the publication.

4. Overall coordination, unity, eye-catching, and atmosphere. Logos, journal titles, issue numbers, barcodes and other elements form a perfect picture with the main **, with a clear visual focus and a sense of hierarchy. Strong. It should not be too complicated and fancy.
