I somehow find myself lost and baffled by the overwhelming talent on this site. And forgive my ignorance, but having no real training in this, I have to ask a very general and god awful question! |

I'll post a layout here for you to see, but as far as looking for sources of inspiration, just remember that everything you read is a "page layout". |

whites are very important ... lots of designs i see contain way too much stuff to be really effective because the reader or viewer has to search to see what he/she is looking for ... keep things simple and always ask yourself if everything is really necessary to the design ... don't be afraid to remove things ... |

Kit - I think it would be helpful to us in helping you if you gave us more direction. What is your background? What aspect of print are you getting into? Are you trying to break into the business? What do you already know? |

As a Prepress Coordinator, I would say the most important thing is to first get a set of Spec's from your printer and/or prepress house. Work with customer service rep or coordinator, they should help you fully understand the requirements. If not find a printer that will. |
