NEWSPAPER LAYOUT DIRECTIONS

FOR YOUR PROJECT: The photos, headlines and cutlines should work together. If you have a photo of the Phillies then your headline and cutline should match what is going on in the photo. You can get creative but if you have a sports picture you should not have a headline about plants or anything like that.

Sizes:
Broadsheet = 22” high x 14” wide

Columns:
Broadsheet = 5-6 columns
∑ Remember that columns aren’t set in stone. You can experiment here.

TEXT
-Stories are on average 12 inches (so the book says) but each leg should be between 2 and 20 inches.
Stories can be borrowed from other publications as long as you credit the correct writer and publication. It's up to you to gather the text. That means if you have to retype it then retype it. Put the proper Byline on each story. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that just use your own stories if you are a writer...

PHOTOS
-Photos are mainly horizontal rectangles because that’s the way we see. The other shapes are vertical rectangles and a square, which is rarely used but does work sometimes.
-Photos, like stories, are up to you to find. Hi-Resolution photos can be pulled from whatever publication you want, just credit the proper source and photographer. This means if the credit in the paper says 'David Maialetti / Daily News' then your paper should say 'David Maialetti / Daily News'.

IMAGES
-Images are a bit different than photos. Images include graphics like weather or lottery or anything along those lines. Charts, graphs, etc. Get creative.
