There is a two-pica shaded area called the trim space. Copy should not be placed in this area. Do not put any copy in the gutter. Photos, however, can extend through the trim space for style… called “bleed off the page.”

Place important pictures, graphics or type in the CVI. The CVI usually falls somewhere on the right-hand page. The WVI usually falls at the bottom left-hand corner of the left page.

Elements have been rearranged to achieve visual balance. This is more pleasing to the eye.
