The basic composition of tabloids
The most direct form of tabloid is layout. There are two editions with few pages, and there are more than a dozen editions. Below, the main parts of the composition page are introduced respectively.
I. Title
The most important part of a newspaper is the headline. Header mainly includes header name, editor-in-chief, date, period number, etc. , and you can insert some pictures as appropriate. When designing the color of the header, we should pay attention to highlighting the color of the text.
Second, the title
The title is the title of each manuscript. Headlines mainly play the role of highlighting the key points of newspapers and guiding readers to read. In form, the font of the theme should be large and the position should be prominent.
Third, the column
The column is a relatively independent layout composed of several manuscripts with * * * *. Generally speaking, it is a unique small garden with exquisite headdress (also called column title) as the main part, which is drawn by sideline.
Fourth, the text.
Writing is the basic unit of tabloids. The main body of tabloids generally uses the number six song style, and a few use the number five. Traditional Chinese characters are generally not used in tabloids. In order to facilitate readers' reading, columns are generally used in the page. In order to distinguish articles from articles, simple text box margins are generally used, or words with different colors and shading blocks are used to distinguish them.
In the typesetting of words, we should try our best to take care of readers' reading habits. Horizontal, left to right, top to bottom, vertical, top to bottom, right to left.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) shoelaces
Lace is used to separate objects and beautify the layout. So the design should be simple. The pattern should not be complicated, the color should not be changeable, and the overall layout should not change too much lace. Try to use only one kind of lace in an article, with as few edges as possible.
Illustration of intransitive verbs
In order to enliven the layout, you can insert some illustrations in the layout design. This is because graphics have more intuitive advantages than words in vision. Illustrations not only highlight the theme of this column, but also obtain ideal decorative effect. But the layout should also consider the area and distribution of illustrations in the layout.
Newspaper style
First, the layout type
According to the overall structure 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 quadrangles, forming large and small plates. Advantages are large layout, simple typesetting, fast production speed and easy reading; The disadvantage is that it is easy to lead to 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 they are interspersed with each other. This structure is characterized by a lively layout.
Second, beautify the layout.
To design a beautiful layout, you should consider the following points:
1. Illustrated pictures: Pictures can not only beautify the layout, but also assist text description, attract readers' attention and enhance the publicity effect.
2. Long and short collocation: It is easy to solve the problem of long and short collocation by consciously choosing different genres of manuscripts on one page. If a page needs two long manuscripts, it can be "shortened" by adding illustrations and inserting questions; If there are too many short manuscripts in a page, you can organize them by adding columns or titles to make them "long".
3. Diversified arrangement: On a page, the arrangement of each manuscript should be changed. If both titles are in the form of horizontal titles, you should use horizontal titles instead of putting them on the same line to avoid collision. If two pictures are placed in the same section, be careful not to put them in the same column, so as to avoid misunderstanding by readers.
4. each has its own characteristics: there should also be different styles between pages.
Full page space
The layout of electronic tabloids should be vivid, lively and novel; Try to be illustrated and illustrated, giving readers a first impression of formal beauty. The layout and design of the layout should aim at the distinctive theme and lively layout.
The number of words in a manuscript must be considered in combination with the layout. If the number of words in the original text is too small, it can be solved by appropriately increasing the title font size and adding pictures; If there are too many words in the original text, the editor should delete a lot. If these two methods are not allowed, there will only be another article with equivalent words.
There are horizontal layout, horizontal layout and vertical layout.
