When it comes to “small” I’m used to working on ACEOs, name tags, and business cards.

This layout, though? It bends my brain.

Below, for your consideration: three bookmark designs. (The dimensions for the third one came from a bookmark template provided by a marketing maven. I have NO idea what system they’re set up for, because it sure ain’t VistaPrint… and by the way, VistaPrint? When you provide specs for your bookmarks, I expect your dimensions to correspond to ACTUAL BOOKMARK SIZES. None of this “Oh, the document you end up with is 2.18×1.blahblahblah!” stuff, which only confuses and annoys me.)

But I managed to figure it out in the end. I think. I hope. At any rate, for a first-to-third pass none of these look too shabby. Still some tinkering to do though. With the biggest wrench I’ve got handy.
