Display is one of two general terms used to describe type size. Display type is larger than text and suitable for use in headlines.
The image below shows the difference between display and text.
Text is also known as body copy and is one of two general terms used to describe type size. Text is type 12 points or smaller, which distinguishes it from headlines.
EXAMPLE
You can see this in magazines or books. Display is used for headlines or new chapters, while text is used for the rest of the body or reading material.Spread is quite simply the term used for two facing pages.
The image below is a visual representation of a spread.
Within the spread, you also have a margin, which is the white area between the main contents of the page and the page edges. The image below highlights the margin in magenta.
An edge margin is going to help define where a line of text begins and ends.
EXAMPLE
If you've ever printed out a report or essay for school using a common printer, you'll notice that text doesn't usually print out edge to edge. There's always a margin—that empty white space that separates the body of text from the edges of the page.Bleed occurs when the composition or layout elements are extended all the way to the edge of the picture frame.
Take a look at the image below. The contents of the first page fit within the page, but the content on the second page extends all the way to the edges of the page.
Columns are defined as blocks of space that contain type or image.
As you can see in the image below, columns are bordered by margins. The three columns are defined and contain type.
The empty spaces between columns are called alleys.
A gutter is a space between the two adjoining pages.
When you combine two pages in a book, brochure, or magazine, you want to have a defined separation between the two. This will allow for better printing.
The gutter will also allow for the viewer to more easily read the material being presented.
