Print Media Text Terms

In my next posts I will be explaining and showing examples of some media textual terms that I may use within my AS Media coursework.

Bleed - 

Bleed is a term used in media to refer to the printing that goes past the edge of the sheet before trimming. The bleed is the part of a document that enables the printer to have some space to move the paper. Any design that may be included on a document can go within the bleed area. 

Here is an example of a document with and without a bleed.

I may intentionally decide to use a bleed within my magazine. However a bleed could occur purposelessly if the page is trimmed too much, and if the margins on the page are not wide enough.
