The basic components of a tabloid
The most direct form of tabloid is its layout. There are two pages for those with less space, and more than ten pages for those with more space. Below, each main part that makes up the layout is introduced respectively.
1. Masthead
The most important part of a newspaper is the masthead. The masthead should clearly state the name of the masthead, editor-in-chief, date, issue number, etc. You can also insert some pictures appropriately. When designing the color of the masthead, attention should be paid to highlighting the color of the words.
2. Title
The title is the title of each manuscript. The title mainly plays the role of highlighting the key points of the newspaper and guiding readers to read. In terms of form, the font size used for the theme should be large and the position should be prominent.
3. Column
The column is a relatively independent page composed of several unique manuscripts. It is generally led by a delicate header (also called a column title) and outlined with borders, making it a unique small space in the layout.
Our class produces a class newspaper, so I recommend a few columns for your reference:
Class events (honors obtained, large-scale activities participated in),
Class Housework (little things worthy of praise, controversial things, suggestions for the class),
Learning world (interesting questions in various subjects, small knowledge)
My works (classmates their writing, calligraphy, painting, handicrafts, etc.)
Little knowledge of life and science and technology
4. Text
It is best for students to write the text themselves . You can also practice calligraphy.
Text is the basic unit of tabloids. The text of tabloids is generally in size 6 Song font, and a few use size 5 font. Traditional Chinese characters are generally not used in tabloids. In order to facilitate readers' reading, the page is generally divided into columns. In order to distinguish articles from articles, simple text box borders are generally used, or different colored text and shading color blocks are used to distinguish them.
In terms of text layout, readers’ reading habits should be taken into consideration as much as possible. When arranged horizontally, from left to right, top to bottom; when arranged vertically, from top to bottom, right to left.
5. Lace
Lace is used to separate articles from articles and beautify the layout. Therefore, it is better to keep the shape simple in design. The patterns should not be complicated, the colors should not be diverse, and the whole layout should not change too many laces. Try to use only one kind of lace in an article, and the number of edges should be as few as possible.
6. Illustrations
You can draw, paste, or print them out.
In order to enliven the layout, some illustrations can be appropriately inserted into the layout during layout and design. This is due to the visual advantage of graphics being more intuitive than text. The illustrations not only highlight the theme of this column, but also achieve ideal decorative effects. However, the area and distribution of illustrations in the layout should also be considered when organizing.
Newspaper style
1. Layout type
According to the overall structural form of the layout, the layout can be divided into two categories: plate structure and interspersed structure.
1. Plate structure
The manuscripts on the layout are mainly regular quadrilaterals, forming large and small plates. The advantages are that the layout is large, the layout is simple, the production speed is fast, and it is easy to read; the disadvantage is that it can easily lead to a dull and monotonous layout, which is not conducive to reflecting the connection between manuscripts.
2. Interspersed structure
The manuscripts on the layout are mostly irregular polygons, and the manuscripts are interspersed with each other. The characteristic of this structure is that the layout is more lively.
2. Beautification of the layout
To design a beautiful layout, the following points should be considered:
1. Pictures and texts: Pictures can not only beautify the layout, but also It can assist text description, attract readers' attention, and enhance the publicity effect.
2. Long and short matching: Consciously selecting manuscripts of different genres on one page can easily solve the problem of long and short matching. If one page requires two long manuscripts, they can be "shortened" by adding illustrations, inserts, etc.; if there are too many short manuscripts on one page, they can be organized and "lengthened" by adding columns or headlines. .
3. Various arrangements: On one page, the arrangement of each manuscript should be varied. If both titles are in the form of horizontal titles, they should not be placed on the same line to avoid bumping the title. If two pictures are placed on the same page, be careful not to put them in the same row or column to avoid comparison and misunderstanding by readers.
4. Each has its own characteristics: the styles should also be different from layout to layout.
Layout
The layout of electronic tabloids should be lively, lively and novel; try to include pictures and texts to give readers the first impression of formal beauty. The layout and design of the layout should be aimed at making the theme clear and prominent and the layout lively.
The word count of the manuscript must be considered in conjunction with the layout. If the number of words in the original text is too few, you can appropriately increase the font size of the title and add pictures; if the number of words in the original text is too many, the editor must delete a lot of the original text. If neither of these methods is allowed, then the only option is to find another article with a similar word count.
The formats include horizontal, horizontal and vertical, and vertical.
