Sorting layout

 

I want to print an A7 sized booklet of 4 poems and matching photos - but the catch is I want to print it on our inkjet printer using one A4 sheet of high quality art archival paper. The printing needs to be two sided.

So to arrive at the mock up of the booklet in the opening photo I started with the A4 sheet and cut it into sections that result in 4 pages - two sides.  I was careful to write how the sections related to the two sides of the A4 sheet.




After glueing photos and words in place on the sheets I reassembled the A4 sheet and then photographed both sides to see that the images and words would in fact land in the right spots if created a Word document to match the placement in the photos.


Well I guess the next step is to create the word document; and print both sides on a cheap test sheet. Hopefully it will result in a booklet similar to the mock up in the photos below.


If you have already done a layout and print like this feel free to give me comments!!!!
