Design is the creative process of drawing and technical presentation, performed by a designer, which creates the visual presentation of a publication (or any other product) from illustrations, photos (or other types of figures), plain text and other constituent parts. Layout production is the technical preparation of the layout of the publication by using specialized software, when the textual and visual information provided by the customer, after processing by the designer, is prepared for printing or publication in the e-space.

1. The final version of the text is presented in the .doc format (only with the required text formatting). The main requirements are presented at Preparation of a manuscript for layout work.
2. Logos (trademarks) and illustrations (figures) are presented in the vector formats .eps or .pdf.
3. If the publication uses any graphs, schemes, etc., together with the text, open files available for processing (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) must be presented.
4. Pictures, figures or any other graphical material shall be presented in separate files (and NOT in the same word file) in one of the following formats: .jpg; .tiff; .png; .gif.
5. The printing process preferably uses the.tiff format pictures as the .tiff format visual material preserves the pixel colors of the initial version at 100 percent. Some sies of pictures are only suitable for the Internet; when they are downloaded from a website, such pictures are obtained at 72 or 96 dpi (dots per inch). Therefore, they should not be used for printing. Before submitting to printing, all colors are converted to the CMYK color palette, and the minimum value is 300 dpi. *DPI is the visual contrast, the resolution. The higher it is, the brighter and more transparent is the view. The main requirements for the Preparation of files for printing are the following.

Your computer screen shows colors in the RGB color palette, whereas printing is performed in the CMYK color palette. When converting from RGB to CMYK color palettes, all colors become slightly faded, i.e., they are not so bright and active anymore as the CMYK palette somewhat ‘stifles’ all colors. CMYK uses the color coding of “C – Cyan, M – Magenta, Y – Yellow, K – Black”, where, by mixing these four colors, all colors for printing are obtained.

A quire is 40,000 symbols including spaces, or 3,000 cm² of printed area illustrations (figures), or 700 lines of a rhyming text. If, due to some reasons, the volume of a text in quires is impossible to establish, an equivalent of a quire is taken as 14 pages of text (when the text is produced in Times New Roman 12 pt or Arial 10–11 pt font); if a scientific product is delivered in some e-format, the volume in quires is determined by calculating only symbols including spaces.
