  1. FEATURE PAGE Layout LIZA M. GUINGGUING Resource Speaker

  2. BARE WINDOW {Unappealing,naive, artless} Dress up {Put up curtains, draperies, laces,etc.}

  3. Layout It is the make up or the window dressing of a page. It consists the arrangement of illustrations, texts and graphics on a page which is to be printed including the selection of the font and colors.

  4. Common symbols used in layouting: PICTURES TEXT HEADLINE

  5. 1. PROPORTION Factors of an excellent layout: Deals with the ratio of one part to another and of the parts to the whole.

  6. Factors of an excellent layout: 2. UNITY {Harmony} The agreement between parts. Content of every page must blend a harmonious unit.

  7. Factors of an excellent layout: 3. BALANCE A feeling of equality in weight; suggests gravitational equilibrium of a single unit or space.

  8. Factors of an excellent layout: 4. EMPHASIS Gives proper importance to the parts and to the whole. It involves the differentiation between the more important and the less important.

  9. Factors of an excellent layout: 5. CONTRAST • The blending of units as one.

  10. Factors that harm excellent layout: • Tomb stoning • Bad breaks • Separating related stories and pictures • Gray areas

  11. Factors that harm excellent layout: • Screaming headline • Heavy tops • Fit them all

  12. POINTERS A feature page should have feminine appearance, wider columns and italics font style.

  13. Using Photos and Line Art Two ways to use photos effectively: • Shape dramatically • Enlarge generously

  14. Cropping serves two functions: • You cut out useless portions of the picture. • You shape the picture into horizontal or vertical format.

  15. LINE ART- Ink drawings, clip arts or even photos.

  16. Designing a Pictorial

  17. A pictorial is also called a photo- feature. It is a story told in pictures. The size of a tabloid page is best-suited for the full page photo feature.

  18. Remember: Pick out first your most dominant photo to occupy the biggest portion of your pictorial.

  19. Remember: Double Truck. Two center pages on a single sheet of paper gives you the very best opportunity to make a good photo feature with a strong dynamic layout.

  20. Remember: A pictorial layout looks fantastic specially when six to eight good photos are used.

  21. Some DOs and Donts Avoid formal balance. Use strong contrasts like large with small, dark with light, color with black and white.

  22. Some DOs and Donts Keep related items together. Artworks look better if they are grouped together instead of spreading them.

  23. Some DOs and Donts Keep design simple. Its better to use two or three large photos instead of many small ones.

  24. Some DOs and Donts Use strong shapes. The strongest and most ideal shape is the rectangle.

  25. Some DOs and Donts Use alignment. Alignment suggests unity. It also simplifies the design.
