bleed, trim area and type area, please advise?

[Rich Hudgins]

Yes, you are correct. The bleed would be easier to figure out just by
taking the extra area, 10mm (235-225=10, 180-170=10) and dividing it by
two for the two sides it needed to split upon (left/right, top/bottom).
Usually you see bleed being asked for as simply 5mm bleed.

Just re-order the layers themselves in the layers palette. Put the
"Guides" layer at the top.

Hi people I've got a question:

I received the below specs from the printers for an advert.

Bleed = 235 x 180mm
Trim Area = 225 x 170mm
Type Area = 200 x 145mm

Basically i have drawn a rectangle for each with coresponding size. (just to
test)

I have made the Trim Area the page size.

For the Type Area I used guides that sits on 200 x 145 and i will have to
make sure all content stays within these guides?

For the bleed i drew a (235x180) rectangle over the page and played with the
bleed setting until it matched. --a bleed of 5 worked

Is the above correct?

Thanks!
Manfred

Thanks for the quick response, Rich.

Another question... My guides seem to dissapear below my vector shapes. Is
there any way to get them to show 'above' in the shapes/vectors order?

Thanks!
