Designing for print

Softcover

• When you add your pictures to Tanabutr creative maker software, make sure your pictures are on your PC's hard drive (not on your DVD or on your external hard drive).
• Any objects in your artwork that touch the edges of the document require bleed, for instance a background colour or image should spread to cover the entire bleed area as should any objects that creep in from the side of the page.
• The document may be cut in the area from blue to black border due to printing and cutting error.
• Right side is front cover and left side is back cover in the cover design page.

Hardcover

• When you add your pictures to Tanabutr creative maker software, make sure your pictures are on your PC's hard drive (not on your DVD or on your external hard drive).
• Any objects in your artwork that touch the edges of the document require bleed, for instance a background colour or image should spread to cover the entire bleed area as should any objects that creep in from the side of the page.
• You should also add a margin to the edges of the document to avoid having your objects look as if they are about to fall of the page or even worse actually get cropped off when the document is trimmed.
• The document may be cut in the area from blue to black border due to printing and cutting error.
• Right side is front cover and left side is back cover in the cover design page.
