Guidelines for your cover

Cover Guidelines: 

Bleeds and guides of cover
 
Any text that you want on your cover should be within the purple safety zone. Any text outside the safety zone may be cut off.
 
If you have a background, it should be pulled all the way out to the red bleed line
The blue lines in the center of the page represent your spine. If you would like to add text to your spine, add a text box to your page.  Once your text box on the page, select it so the 9 blue dots appear around it. 
 
Type the text that you want on the spine. Then, rotate the text box by clicking on the larger blue dot that is slightly extended from the text box

You can also use the rotate button located on the top tool bar to rotate your text box

Rotate your school name so that the bottom of the title sits on the left lines of the spine. This will ensure that the spine will exist in the proper direction on your cover.
