Successful design also evolves from a mindset:
i. A willingness to experiment
ii. Confidence in your perceptions
iii. Recognition that effective design is a process, not an event
iv. Devotion to detail
News design
is the process of arranging material on a newspaper page, according to
editorial and graphical guidelines and goals. Main editorial goals include the
ordering of news stories by order of importance, while graphical
considerations include readability and balanced, unobtrusive incorporation
of advertising.

News design incorporates principles of graphic design and is taught as part

of journalism training in schools and colleges. Overlapping and related terms
include layout, makeup (formerly paste up) and pagination.

FORM
FUNCTION
CREATINGWINNINGPAGES
Designers work with four elements: copy, art, headlines and white space
- Copy: the actual text
- Art: Photos, illustrations, maps, graphs, lines, etc; anything that is not text
- Headlines: Any header for an article
- White Space: Any space that is not covered by one of the three
components mentioned above
PAGEPLAN
PREPARING
A DUMMY SHEET
THE DUMMY
Indicating on the layout sheet where each
element will be placed (sometimes called
dummying or roughing in) may be done as each
segment of material is forwarded to the publisher.
Once pre-planning is complete, the next is to create a thumbnail sketch
of your document.

This does not have to be a complicated drawing.

It is a working document that will let you

“think” on paper about what you have in mind.
