Project 3 Newspaper Design
Due March 18
You will design and execute a front page of a tabloid-sized newspaper. The tabloid will be 11" X 14" and may be in color or black and white. You will be given the stories (copy), images (photos) and cutline (captions) that you will use to design the page. These will be found on my faculty webpage. They are listed as Project 3 Picture 1-4, Project 3 Story 1-4 and Project 3 Cutline 1-4. You will be shown how to print this tabloid page as a proof on an 8 ½" X 11" sheet of paper.
Your design should be modular, have a dominant photo, be clean and have proper spacing.
You will turn in two copies of your design with the dummy you used to design the page. You will put your name on the back of both copies and turn in the copies in a pocket folder with your name on it.
This projects objectives are to teach you the following:
how to use dummies
how to use QuarkXPress to newspaper pages
how design principles can be used in newspaper design
how the steps of design can be used to create newspaper pages
