Hi Dear... Need a little help from you... I am a Print Designer and new to this field. I usually had to design for heavy Magazine like 300 pages+ i usually get the problem of Inner Margins and the problem get worse when there is an image spread on both left right page.... is there any rule to manage such condition...? I have been working in Illustrator and shifting to Indesigne with help of your Tutorials... Thanks indeed.

I would strongly disagree that creep is something only the printer should worry about. With a heavier perfect bound magazine the concern isn't just what gets completely lost in the binding, but also pages curling in unless the reader actively forces the book apart. What looks great on a saddle-stitched spread ends up looking bad, and designers should definitely factor this in and use wider inside margins.

(Obviously if we're talking multi-signature saddle stitching, the printer will handle that.)
