  13. Common Grid Choices 3-column grid = limited options for photo & text widths 4-column grid = more flexible layout text columns still wide 5-column grid = most flexible layout but narrower columns

  14. Layout 101 •Use only one or two fonts - visual unity helps you communicate effectively •For this project use 10-pt type for plain column text…do NOT use a larger font •Try to balance text with graphics •Avoid making the page too “gray” •Match headline size to story importance •Use subheads to create visual “air” •All pictures should have cutlines (bold) •Avoid “bumping headlines” •Use enclosed, lined boxes to reduce effect of “bumping” headlines •Planning = good layout; use graph paper to sketch text and picture placement •Less = More! Include only important and essential material. Be thorough, but brief.
