چکیده
In the predecessor to this paper, three fundamental concepts of uniformity, information and structure were introduced, and general guidance given on each of them. In this paper, more practical advice is given, specifically in two areas: guidance on actual dimensions, proportions and layout; and guidance on implementing some of the ideas through the medium of the TEX language. Finally, some difficult (and even insoluble) problems in layout are discussed.
