page layout
the page layout of a document is the manner in which information is graphically arranged in the space of the document, e.g., on a page. if the appearance of the document is of concern, page layout is generally the responsibility of a graphic designer. typography concerns the design of letter and symbol forms and their physical arrangement in the document (see typesetting). information design concerns the effective communication of information, especially in industrial documents and public signs. simple textual documents may not require visual design and may be drafted only by an author, clerk, or transcriber. forms may require a visual design for their initial fields, but not to complete the forms.

book





























as a physical object, a book is a stack of usually rectangular pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) oriented with one edge tied, sewn, or otherwise fixed together and then bound to the flexible spine of a protective cover of heavier, relatively inflexible material. the technical term for this physical arrangement is "codex" (in the plural, "codices"). in the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its immediate predecessor, the scroll. a single sheet in a codex is a leaf, and each side of a leaf is a page.
