dave came in again today and gave us some more advice on our newspaper. we told him where we were up to on the project which was creating the content. he told us that the next thing to think about was the appearence. he said that it wasn't as simple as where we would put pictures or what font the text would be in. in magazines and newspapers there are subtle differences that we readers don't notice. he said that there are usually up to 3 different fonts on a page. he also listed out other things we need to think about.
title - name of article
strapline - sentnece under title giving more information
cloumn amount - amount of columns per page
intro - short paragraph summerizing the article
crosshead - subheadings before paragraphs
pull quotes - quotes taken from article that make you want to read on
images - relate to the topic of the article
captions - text under images explaining what they are
box out - information in a box that isn't part of the article itself
header - text at top of page
footer - text at bottom of page
dave said that every magazine or newspaper has these things and each one has a specific font, font size and colour. these things need to be the same for all the articles for the newspaper. it's called the style sheet. the style of the look of the paper. we need to think about this for our newspaper.
