  • inside pages template with blank pages, in case you want to create your own design from scratch

  • inside pages template with the calendar already set up

3. All design elements that are supposed to go to the edge of the paper must be extended to the bleed line.

4. Keep all the important design elements (text, logos etc.) within the safe zones.

5. If you use images in your design they must be set to 300ppi resolution and to CMYK colour mode.

6. All lines should be at least 0.25pt.
