Overview: We have examined yearbook layout. Now it is time to turn our attention to Newspaper Design. Visit the Newseum's Gallery of newspaper front pages from around the world. Take 15 minutes to look at the different front pages.
Click on the Map View and look at the following:
- Newspapers from at least three different states in the United States.
- Two newspapers in New York City.
- Two newspapers in Texas.
- Two newspapers in Europe.
- Two newspapers in Asia.
Assignment: In a new blog titled "Front Pages of the World" answer the following:
- What is the name of your single favorite newspaper front page? Why is it your favorite?
- Post an image of your favorite to your blog.
- What city and state is the paper from?
- What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?
- How many stories are on the front page of your favorite?
- What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.
- What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.
When you are done — we will be looking at The Eagle's Eye newspaper and taking some notes about items found in newspapers. Once we are done with that, you will start your next project using the instructions below.
When you are done reviewing the newspapers, find the folder in your student folder titled "Newspaper Front Page Design Files." Start by opening the PDF titled "Newspaper Front Page Design Directions." You will be designing your own front page using the materials provided in your folder. Follow the directions and create your Front Page in the InDesign file titled "Front and Inside Page."
