general work skills. (a) formats

Format is the final shape and size of whatever a designer has been designing towards, this could be a book, magazine, flyer etc. Format is no longer much of a concern for a designer thanks to the ISO paper series, these guidelines are the traditional sizes used throughout and will normally give the client a good idea with what they should be thinking size-wise to match up with the job they need doing. Rarely will a client want a magazine for example to not be the regular size for a magazine.
