Images in a multi-page publication must be prepared to look good when printed. Typically, print shops have different requirements for offset printing, but the general principle of preparation is pretty much the same for all of them. I’ll give you an example of my work for Agroinvestor magazine so that the print shop accepts the layout for the first time and the images remain high quality.

Preparing a design correctly for printing is a time-consuming task. You need to check fonts, images, colours, and format, consider transparent elements, and adjust exports so that the print shop accepts the file for printing. Let me tell you what I do for the periodical Agroinvestor and how I do it.

Many designers build layouts according to the modular grid, but this approach gives a bad result — pages turn out boring and difficult to perceive. The modular grid consists of rectangular modules. To make clear layouts, first of all, it is worth distributing the elements within the modules, and then with the help of the grid systematise them. The modular grid organises the objects within the space, creates an impression of unity, and gives order and clarity to the layout. And sometimes the grid is not necessary at all.
