Tapestry magazine page notes
Full bleed pages
Each page is printed from edge to edge. This is called "full bleed."
In order for a full bleed production to be successful, we need to set up our pages slightly bigger than the final size, and make sure the images reach or slightly pass the edges. The printer cuts off the edges, thus creating the look of material filling each page.
This means we must include with our 8 1/2-inches-by-11-inch-high sheet of paper an additional 1/8th of an inch (0.125) to both sides, top, and bottom, thus giving us an 8 3/4-inch-wide-by-11 1/4-inch-high page. (Using decimals, 8.75-inches-by-11.25 inches.)
For our 17-inch-wide-by-11-inch-high sheet of paper an additional 1/8th of an inch (0.125) to both sides, top, and bottom, thus giving us an 17 1/4-inch-wide-by-11 1/4-inch-high page. (Using decimals, 17.25-inches-by-11.25 inches.)
In addition, we are printing at a very high resolution (300 dpi). This means all photography and images must be sized to fit at 300 dpi.
We will use InDesign CC for our pagination (page layout) program.
Here is more information on full bleed printing.
Workload
Each student must complete a certain amount of individual pages and two-page spreads. Those numbers will be announced this week. Students will also be responsible for completing other assignments during production and those given after the magazine is sent to the printer.
Production hierarchy
-- The editor is in charge of seeing that the magazine is completed by deadline. Seniors have the most authority and are responsible for overseeing production.
-- The governing committee (this year, seniors and juniors) will assist students new to the program and will train them to be the magazine's future leaders.
-- Students new to the program must do their part to produce a high-quality magazine.
-- Instructor supports the efforts of the editor, governing committee, and students new to the program, and will work to see that everybody is successful. He will also deal with the printing company, magazine funding, and any last-minute problems, should any arise. The instructor will respect and support the magazine's traditions and will work to ensure the literary magazine program continues to function at a very high level.
Don't forget: We are working towards the Unveiling!
