Ghost Dave 23/3/2010

Here are things Dave said we should do:

Develop own style - different for each article, but consistent throughout paper. News should all look similar, features have to look different but have similar traits.

Title - Attention Grabbing. Decide Fonts. Easily Readable.

Strapline (Sub-Title) - Slightly more context - New Font?

Number of columns

First Paragraph - Intro. Sucks reader into reading article. How is it different? Bold? Italic? Font?

Massive first letter to show start of feature?

Cross Heads - Key words or phrases to explain next paragraph

Pull Out Quote - Quote to grab attention and drag reader in

Presentational Box - Pictures - Square Corners? Round Corners?

Caption Fonts - Explain what image is

Arrow from caption to image?

Box Out - Information from external source explaining something

Page Number/Information/Title/Issue Number/Date/Logo

By Line - Beginning? End? Picture?
