Understanding Spreads, P, and Pages of a Book
Spread or P
A spread is the same as a P, also same as 2 pages that left and right pages viewed together, such as the two pages visible whenever you open a book.
Page
A page is either the left-hand page or right-hand page of a book.
Understanding Page Layout
Bleed Area
Everything within the bleed area (0.125" / 3mm) with be trimmed. However, you should extend your image to the edge of this area for a full page design without border.
White Border
Leave minimum 0.39" / 10mm width of border if necessary.
Safe Area
Anything inside this area is safe, so you will want to keep all your important content here.
Center Line
This is the crease or the center folding line of the album. Avoid placing human facial features and text across this line.
