Today Dave came in to help us with our style sheet for out newspaper, he drew out a simple layout of a magazine on the board and he talked us through everything labeled on the design.
Here are the notes that I had taken:
As we are starting from scratch we need to make sure it is different and not the same as every other magazine or newspaper but we need to keep it consistant throughout. For certain parts of the style sheet like the captions or the titles or the main body text it needs to be different fonts but not too varied. SO maybe change teh font sizes or colour or even if it is in bold, italic or not. Some magazines start their articles having the first paragraph in bold, normally this is the intro. You will notice that in a lot of magazines they use pullout quotes, this is where a small section of the article (that is interesting) is pulled out onto the side of the magazine , this is used to catch the readers attention give them a littel taste of what is to come.
A boxout is a small bock on the page that has information that is to do with the article but not directly relevant.
We need to figure out whats fonts we are going to use and set out our positioning of everything, such as pictures, body text, box outs and pullouts..
