METHODS 0F CENTERING
TITLES
Trial and Final Method
1.
In this method, a light lettering ( trial only ) is made with a pencil in the space where the title is to be located. In finishing the letters, necessary adjustment s should be made in order that the letters or title is properly centered.
Scratch Paper
Method
2.
This is more systematic than the trial and final method but it is more time consuming. In this method, lettering is first done in a scratch paper then the scratch paper is centered over the space where the title is to be printed.
