Newspaper Design #2

Now you will design your own newspaper page! You may use papers at the front for examples. 

Everything you need is in the folder you moved on to your desktop on Tuesday, Newspaper Design #2, you will open the InDesign file labeled OLDER (like Tuesday) and you may begin! Make sure the stories and pictures match each other, the stories can be copied and pasted directly from the Word file in the folder but you must first select a column template on the InDesign file. 

I am sorry I am not here to help you today, if you get stuck/frustrated I will be here Tuesday and can help but I must see that you got started and at least attempted this on your own. It is fairly simple but takes patience, like putting together a puzzle! I am confident most of you will finish this today in class so please use your time wisely!

Do you have the following:

1. A headline for every story
2. A caption for every photo
3. Are there any big white spaces?
4. Have you written all the headlines? Do they fill the entire space required? If not you need to write them to fill the entire space.
5. Did you use line dividers? Are they in the right place?
6. Do all captions have a photo by?
7. Do all stories have a byline?
8. If you used art (any .jpeg without a caption that I wrote for it), does it have an art by?
9. Are the entire stories there? Please read the story and make sure it doesn't cut off somewhere weird.
10. Did you put a stop into place at the end of every story?
11. Did you view your page in Preview mode? You should and take a look at what you are actually turning in.

Make sure that every headline is written fully so that it fills the entire space. Make sure those headline boxes in InDesign are made big enough to cover the entire space required.

Make sure you use FILL text to completely fill all text boxes/blocks.

Make sure you have stops at the end of every story.

Look and see that you can draw a box around all elements that go with the same coverage, i.e. headline, story, photo/art, caption. You should be able to draw a box around it.

Make sure that you have NOT gone outside the pink/purple lines, but also make sure that all of your objects are touching pink/purple lines.
