Hey all, 

 

Hope you are well

 

I just about get by in using Indesign - yet the main element I still struggle with is printing best practice, more specifically bleeds and trims. 

 

I can't seem to find 'trim' - a magazine has asked for the below for a full page advert - can anyone help how to meet the requirements for what they are asking from Indesign

 

Thanks,

The magazine effectively wants you to use the following page layouts:

The Trim is the InDesign page size.

The Type area - this is the margins - so you'd want the type area to be be this centred on the page - all your text should be in this area and not outside it.

Bleed size refers to how much bleed. Any images/text or other items that are going to be outside your type area need to extend out into the bleed area.

If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!
