Dot matrix typesetting is to put elements (page numbers, titles, pictures) in a table, which can also make the information more clear and orderly. This practice is very special because it is not common in directory planning. This typesetting method can effectively organize layout information and make it more orderly, so it can also be used for typesetting directory pages with more content. In order to prevent monotony and boredom, picture elements are usually added, but they are not suitable for large-scale applications.

2. Column typesetting

Column typesetting includes text column and picture column in two ways. Text information is vertically divided into two or more pages, which is suitable for pages with more text, so it is also suitable for column typesetting if there are more contents in the directory page. This planning method can help readers find the part they want to know quickly under the condition of large reading.

Step 3 leave it blank

If there are few words in the catalogue, the layout will easily appear empty and monotonous. Common practice is to add pictures or enlarge text. In fact, it is also a solution to automatically keep a large number of blanks, such as putting the content at the top, bottom, lower left corner and lower right corner of the layout, and leaving blanks in other directions. Although the layout treated in this way has a sense of imbalance, it has a stronger sense of movement and planning, and a large area of blank space can also appropriately alleviate eye fatigue.

4. Axis typesetting

Axis typesetting is to put directory information along a certain axis, which is suitable for directory pages with less content. The way of axis is generally vertical axis and horizontal axis, and the way of placement is generally staggered typesetting, which is also rare in catalogue planning because of the limitation of style.

? 5, large page number

Page number or serial number is the basic element of a directory page. Catalogs with more chapters will be marked with page numbers, and directories with less classification will generally use serial numbers to distinguish several major sections. Enlarging the page number or serial number and using a font with thick strokes can not only make it more clear and eye-catching, but also increase the contrast of the layout and improve the sense of planning. In addition, deleting page numbers will make you more planned.
