Word semantics board layout

If you're confused about the layout of your Word Semantics project, what you'll do is set your artboard to be 13x19 (vertical layout). Then create a 12"x18" rectangle and center it on the page. Then you set up your words with the black and white version on top and color on bottom. Leave a couple inches on each side of the word, so they don't get too close to the edge of the paper. After you have put your word compositions on the board leave about an inch more space below the color version (at the bottom of the page) then you have at the top above the black and white version. Then with the 12"x18" rectangle selected, in Illustrator CS3, go to Filter in the top menu and choose Create, then crop marks. In CS4 it might be different, I think its under Effects. You can use those crop marks to trim your paper down to fit your board.
