Layout modification
After Mr. Vinod reviewed the black and white edition, he told me that the
format of the content titles needed to be the same as the other titles, so I
made the changes.

Cover Design
Because the cover needs to be slightly larger than the inner pages, my cover
dimensions are 176mm x 246mm.

First Color Book Printing Test
The cover size I initially chose was much larger than the inner pages, so I
adjusted the cover size to 172mm x 242mm.

Mr.Vinod mentioned that the cover should be 'press' instead of
'print'.
