\nGolden ratio refers to the classic method that goes back to the Renaissance. The Golden Ratio can be used to define the proportions of designs and structures as well as to determine the type area or select the paper size. The Fibonacci number sequence is closely related to the Golden Ratio.<\/li>\n- The line construction (also: diagonal construction)<\/strong>
\nThe line construction uses diagonals which seem awfully mathematically at first. But with some practice, the method is a good alternative to the Golden Ratio.<\/li>\n- The simple sequence of numbers<\/strong>
\nThe margin proportions are determined using the numerical sequence 2:3:4:5 or 2:3:4:6.<\/li>\n- The 9×9 grid<\/strong>
\nThe 9×9 grid is another effective means of reaching your goal quickly and easily. However, the result is not readily scalable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPage construction basics<\/h2>\n
We perceive an impression of spatial harmony and balance when there is more whitespace below objects than above objects. Thus, the perceived, harmonic visual centre is always a bit higher than the calculated centre. We will account for this fact in each of the construction types.<\/p>\n
The type area of a single page is usually located horizontally in the centre. For multi-page documents, you have to take into consideration that the reader will also look at two facing pages and thus the free space inside, the so-called inside margin<\/strong> has a double impact. Therefore, the inside margin of double-sided documents is always about half as wide as the outside margin. Also there is the top margin, i.e., the free space above the printed area, and the bottom margin at the lower edge.<\/p>\n![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-type-area.jpg\")
<\/a>Margins and type area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nPage construction with the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci<\/h2>\n
We encounter the Golden Ratio as the rule of proportionality in architecture, painting, sculpting and nature. It helps us divide areas and distances into harmonious proportions. Also the relationship between uppercase and lowercase letters is often based on the Golden Ratio. If a line segment is divided into two lengths such that the ratio of the segment’s entire length to the longer length is equal to the ratio of the longer length to the shorter length, then the segment has been divided into the Golden Ratio.<\/p>\n
The Fibonacci Sequence is closely related to the Golden Ratio, and to make things easier, it can be used to determine the type area based on the “divine proportions”. The Fibonacci Sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc. \u2013 such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Example: 5 added to the preceding 3 equals 8.<\/p>\n
Now let’s apply the number sequence to a double-sided page layout. Strictly speaking, it does not serve to identify the type area here but to define the margins and the resulting print space proportions.<\/p>\n
The inside margin is always the smallest. Afterwards, the margin size increases, clockwise for a right page and counter-clockwise for a left page. Applying the numerical sequence to margin sizes, we get 2 units for the inside margin, 3 units for the top margin, 5 units for the outside margin and 8 units for the bottom margin. The size of units can be custom defined based on the amount of content, the product and the target audience.<\/p>\n![\"Two](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-golden-ratio.jpg\")
<\/a>Type area according to the Golden Ratio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nType area using the line construction method<\/h2>\n
This method uses diagonal lines to produce a type area. The final size is variable with this approach. First draw two diagonal lines across the full spread, then one diagonal in each single page from the outer bottom corner to the inner top corner. To define the upper left starting point of the type area, take any point on the right single page diagonal. From there, draw a horizontal line to the right until you meet the full spread diagonal. From there, travel down vertically as far as the single page diagonal and from there draw a horizontal line to complete the rectangle. This may sound confusing, so take a look at the illustration below for clarification.<\/p>\n
You can change the size of the type area at any time by moving the upper left starting point on the right single page diagonal further up or down. Move it up to increase the type area, while keeping the proportions, and move it down to reduce it.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-diagonal-lines.jpg\")
<\/a>Type area using diagonal lines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPlan B<\/h3>\n
If you need help with the size, you can draw an additional line: After creating all four diagonal lines, start a vertical line in the point where the single page diagonal and the full spread diagonal meet and draw it up to the page edge. From there start another line that runs to the intersection point of the other page. This creates a new intersection point between the last line and the single page diagonal \u2013 and this is the upper left starting point for the type area rectangle.<\/p>\n![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-diagonal-lines-b.jpg\")
<\/a>Type area diagonal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nPage construction using the number sequence<\/h2>\n
The number sequences 2:3:4:5 and 2:3:4:6 can be used to define the sizes of the four margins in an easy manner. This method does not account for the ratio of paper width and paper height, however. Nevertheless, using the two number sequences delivers a quick an often handsome solution.<\/p>\n![\"Two](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-numbers.jpg\")
Type area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nPage construction using the 9×9 grid<\/h2>\n
This method divides the page width and height into nine equal squares. Now leave one square at the top and at the inner edge, respectively, empty and two squares at the outside and bottom each. The drawback of this technique is the non-scalable margin width and the relatively small and hence fixed size of the type area.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-9x9.jpeg\")
<\/a>The 9×9 grid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe layout grid<\/h2>\n
Our type area, or rather the margin widths, specify the outer edges. But on the inside, the type area is still empty. But we need to structure the inside of the type area as well, especially in case of complex projects with intricate content and multi-page documents. So we use the layout grid<\/strong> to help us out.<\/p>\nThe grid divides the type area horizontally and vertically into modules that make organising text and images easier.<\/p>\n
Horizontal division<\/h3>\n
Let’s start with the horizontal division It is created by a\u00a0column grid<\/strong> which divides the text in several columns plus the area between the columns, the gutter. In our example, we use a paper width of 200\u00a0mm and a type area using the diagonal construction. The resulting type area dimensions are<\/p>\n161 x 224,5 mm.<\/pre>\nThe type area width is divided into three text columns with a width of 50.3\u00a0mm and 5\u00a0mm gutter.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-grid-cells.jpeg\")
<\/a>Grid cells in the type area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nVertical division<\/h3>\n
In vertical orientation, the type area height initially specifies the column height which should be a multiple of the baseline grid, i.e., the line distance of the body text. We now divide the height as well to create cells. The cell height is usually determined by the cell width to create a harmonious horizontal format. Frequently, the smallest image size is used to determine the cell size. However, the cell height must be so that multiple cells on top of each other end exactly at the lower edge of the type area \u2013 the height of the type area is therefore always a multiple of the grid cell height.<\/p>\n
Grid cells<\/h3>\n
The cells now fill the entire type area and facilitate positioning objects and defining sizes. Images or boxes, for example, now move in grid cell increments. The smallest image or the smallest box has the size of a grid cell. Larger images are always multiples of the grid cells.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-grid-cells-example.jpeg\")
<\/a>Example of the layout of an article within the type space using grid cells.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs a rule of thumb, it can be said that the smaller the cell size, the greater the design flexibility but the more chaotic the arrangement of objects can become. If the grid cells are too small, the grid is no longer useful.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nA type area sample calculation<\/h2>\n
Let’s clarify this with a type area calculation. This also shows that you cannot always calculate to the millimetre. Rather you should try to keep your type area and the layout grid flexible. Let’s assume the following:<\/p>\n
Paper size<\/strong>: 200\u00a0x\u00a0280\u00a0mm
\nBody text<\/strong>: 9\u00a0pt font size, 12\u00a0pt line distance<\/p>\nAccording to the type area drafts described above, our planned type area height is approximately 210 to 230\u00a0mm. Using the line construction<\/a><\/u> method,\u00a0we would obtain a type area height of 225\u00a0mm.<\/p>\nWe now divide the 225\u00a0mm height by the 12\u00a0pt of the baseline grid, i.e., 4.236\u00a0mm which equals 53.11. But we need an exact multiple of our baseline grid. So we round to 53 lines and reduce the type area height to 53\u00a0*\u00a04.236\u00a0=\u00a0224.5\u00a0mm.<\/p>\n
If we have 53 lines, 6 grid modules each containing 8 rows plus one row of gutter are ideal. Hence, we have 6 grid modules * 8 rows = 48 lines plus 5 rows of gutter = 53 lines = 224.5\u00a0mm.<\/p>\n
Let’s draw a brief interim conclusion. We calculated the following values for our page:<\/p>\n
\n- Grid<\/strong>: 6 grid modules comprised of 8 rows each<\/li>\n
- Division<\/strong>: 53 rows of 12\u00a0pt each<\/li>\n
- Effective type area height<\/strong>: 224.5\u00a0mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What is the size of the top and bottom margin? This can be calculated as follows:
\n280\u00a0mm (paper height) \u2013 224.5\u00a0mm (type area height) = 55.5\u00a0mm remain for the top and bottom margin.<\/p>\n
The margin proportions according to\u00a0Fibonacci<\/a><\/u>: 55.5\u00a0mm \/ 8 x 5 = 34.7\u00a0mm for the bottom margin; 20.8\u00a0mm for the top margin; alternatively we take the margin proportions of the\u00a0line construction<\/a><\/u> which yields 37.1\u00a0mm for the bottom margin and 18.4\u00a0mm for the top margin.<\/p>\n\n- Top margin<\/strong>: 18.4\u00a0mm<\/li>\n
- Bottom margin<\/strong>: 37.1\u00a0mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a>Calculating the type area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/p>\nGenerating the design grid in InDesign<\/h2>\n
In Adobe InDesign<\/a><\/u>, the type area is determined by entering the margin widths. The values can be entered either at the beginning when creating the file or later with the file open.<\/p>\n![\"Screenshot](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-settings.jpg\")
<\/a>You can define the type area in InDesign when creating a document…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you enter the values subsequently, pay attention to which pages are active when you open the dialogue box, because only the margins of the\u00a0open pages<\/strong>\u00a0will be changed!<\/p>\nTo set all pages of your document, double-click on A-Master in the Pages panel to display the Master Page and activate the second Master Page in case of a facing page document. Afterwards, open the dialogue box to enter the margins via\u00a0Layout<\/span>\u00a0>\u00a0Margins and Columns<\/span>.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.onlineprinters.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/page-construction-margins-columns.jpg\")
<\/a>… which can also be done at a later stage, however.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCreating a grid in InDesign<\/h3>\n
The grid modules can be created using grid lines. Alternatively, create light-coloured rectangles, put them on a separate layer and lock them. You can show these rectangles every time you need help positioning elements and hide them in the preview.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nSpecial cases<\/h2>\n
There are certain circumstances under which the type area and the design grid have to comply with certain specifications. This is usually the case if parts of the content contain fixed measurements as is the case with ads. The customer purchases an ad of specific width and height which the designer must integrate in the type area. Ideally, the smallest ad size is identical to a grid cell and the larger ads correspond to several grid cells. In practice, however, it is often the other way round and the grid cells must comply with the height and width proportions of the ad.<\/p>\n
\n\n- Before generating the type area and the design grid, check the possible ad sizes.<\/li>\n
- The proportions of a grid cell do not have to be the same as those of the ad. A square ad, for example, can also be comprised of 2 x 3 grid modules.<\/li>\n
- When in doubt, use small grid cells to be more flexible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
