OUGD404: Publication 02 Binding and Grid Planning

As I would like to use a Japanese Stab Stitch binding method, I will need to determine the required margins for this prior to designing the content.

I will need to leave a 1" margin down the left hand side of the designs where the book will be bound. From here I will need an inside margin of 0.75" followed by 0.5" for the outside, top and bottom margins.

As I will need to deliver instructions accompanied by images, two columns per page will be required, with an even 0.5" spacing in between these also.

Below is a grid I have Constructed considering these dimensions that should allow me to produce a well balanced and ordered set of page layouts that work consistently and cohesively together:

Due to double sided printing being necessary also, I will need a reverse of this grid which too can be seen below:
