1. Understanding Signatures

In book design, a signature refers to a group of pages—typically 16—that are folded and bound together. Signatures play a key role in the bookbinding process.

When designing a book, the total number of pages should be divisible by 4 to ensure that the signatures align properly and to avoid paper waste.

2. Page Count and Divisibility

Each signature should ideally contain a page count divisible by 16 (e.g., 16, 32, 48). However, additional pages can be added in multiples of 4 (e.g., 20, 24) to maintain proper structure.

This helps in maximizing paper usage and supports efficient binding


Exercise 3

In this exercise, guided by Mr. Vinod’s video tutorial, we begin by sketching the Van de Graaf structure on an A3 sheet. Then, we recreate it digitally in InDesign
