Pagination

Pagination is the sequence in which numbers are assigned to pages in a book, or publication. This is a consideration that needs to be taken into account when designing for print, especially when using different paper stocks within the same document. For example, when using tracing paper or acetate it needs to be taken into consideration what will be on the other side, and depending on how the document is being bound, the different stock will affect another two spread elsewhere in the book. In order to create a book that is paginated correctly it needs to be done in series of four; allowing for front and back cover as well as a double inside spread.
