Long text needs comfortable line lengths. Image collections may need more space for spreads. Test your layout at its intended printed size before deciding.
Think about how it will be held
A large book can emphasize imagery but also adds weight. A portable edition needs a format that remains readable in the reader’s hands.
State units clearly
Give width and height together in mm or inch. Trim size describes the finished page, not artwork with bleed.
Discuss production implications
Size, paper, page count and binding interact. Ask for alternatives that preserve the layout goals; available formats and tolerances require project-specific confirmation.
General preparation information. Project requirements, materials and services must be confirmed; this is not a manufacturing commitment.
