important line or panel should be located between three and five-tenths of the full length of the page from the top. It will sometimes be found that, on account of the nature or quantity of the matter, this suggestion can not be followed. A perfectly shaped egg, viewed as represented on the following page, is a splendid illustration of the form of a perfect title page.
When a single line of type is to occupy the center of a page, it should be placed a little above the actual center; otherwise, if placed exactly in the center, it will appear to be below the center. For example, see illustrations below.
This rule will also apply to any amount of type matter, ornaments, panels, etc., which are intended to occupy the center of a page or panel.
