Be generous with photographs. Most people look at photographs before reading text. Photographs will create interest in reading the accompanying text. Place photographs where they will be relevant to the writing on the page. Consider the layout of your history, such as which type size, spacing, and font makes the text easy to read. If you are planning to print on both sides of the page, be sure to leave margins on the binding side of each page wide enough to allow for binding, usually at least a quarter inch wider than the normal edge of a typewritten page.<br> | '''Expert Tips:''' Be generous with photographs.
