For Each Page:

- Layout should be well done, with just enough blank space to make it pleasant to look at.

- Leave a margin of about one inch at the left for the binding.

- Add colored borders or other artistic details.

- Make sure the pages look neat, are typed (12 pt. font) and ready to publish, with no spelling or grammar errors.
