esi • Have a focal point.
• Design with a purpose.
• Keep it simple.
• Maintain design, unity and
consistency.
• Design should have contrast
and balance.

21. BALANCE AND
PROPORTION
Visual balance comes
from arranging elements
on the page so that no
section is heavier than
the other.

22. BALANCE AND PROPORTION

23. PROXIMITY
UNITY
In design, proximity or closeness
creates a bond between people and
between elements on a page.
Use consistent external and internal
margins
• Other graphics can create unity, even
simple rules (lines)

25. PRINCIPLES OF
DESIGN ALIGNMENT
• Alignment brings order to chaos, in a
parking lot and on a piece of paper. How
you align type and graphics on a page and
in relation to each other can make your
layout easier or more difficult to read,
foster familiarity, or bring excitement to
a stale design.

27. REPETITION CONSISTENCY
Repeating design elements and
consistent use of type and
graphics styles within a document
shows a reader where to go and
helps them navigate your designs
and layouts safely.

29. CONTRAST
In design, the use of opposites
in size, shape and weight—big
and small elements, black and
white text, squares and circles,
can ali create contrast in design.

31. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
EMPHASIS
• In order to achieve emphasis, news should
be displayed according to importance. The
news value of every story must determine
on what page it should find print, its
position on the page, and the style , and
size of its headline.

32. WHITE SPACE
Designs that try to cram too much text
and graphics onto the page are
uncomfortable and may be impossible
to read. White space gives your design
breathing room.

36. Makeup of Inside
Pages: While it is true that the front page of
the newspaper is it shows window,
attractive makeup should not be
confined to this page alone. The
inside and back pages should be
given the same tender care,
treatment and attention by the layout
artist.

37. EDITORIAL PAGE
• This page should have a distinctive, dignified,
and formal appearance. The masthead or
editorial box which should be relatively small,
may be anchored in any corner as done in
streamlined newspapers.
• Traditionally, the editorials appear in the first
two columns. They are of larger types. Heads or
title of editorials, just like the headline of news
stories, should be of the masculine appearance,
ot the italic or script type.

speed, and color. Large bold

used.

43. First impressions are important. An
attractive newsletter which
appears relevant and
uncomplicated will encourage
people to read further.
Don't make the newsletter overly
complex.

44. Design your newsletter before

Take into account your newsletter's
graphic content in relation to the
textual content.

active voice. Edit for clarity,
conciseness, jargon, length and
accuracy.
Remember to quote your sources.

49. Article titles should be short and
eye- catching. The introduction to an
article should ideally answer the
following three questions about the
article topic: Who? What? and
Where?

50. • The lead article should be
devoted to the most recent news
and present a summary of pertinent
points, rather than a detailed report.

51. NEWSLETTER
PRODUCTION
• Use different typefaces for the
headlines and the text.
• Choose a common typeface for
all of your headlines and limit
headlines to two sizes. Use one size
for headlines of primary importance
and another, smaller, size for
headlines of lesser importance.

52. Subheads break up a long text
and make it easier to read. Ideally,
subheads should have the same
typeface used in the headlines, but
smaller.
Columns or boxes are ideal for
short
topics.

53. NEWSLETTER
PRODUCTION
• Working with other writers helps
increase the variety of newsletter
content.
• Newsletter editors should provide
clear directions to writers about
each article's topic, structure, length
and deadline, as well as the main
points that the text will address.

54. Include writers' by-lines, since this
can help increase future
contributions and also gain credibility
for your publication.

55. Single space for line spacing
and
between paragraphs.
Font size should be consistent from
front to back pages for title and
text. Left alignment for text is best.

56. Graphics or photos should be
facing
inside or into the page.
Larger graphics/photos signifies as
the most important.
Use drop caps in the upper part
only.
Use the rule of thirds.

57. Place your masthead in a
visible
place.
Don't forget to number and
date each issue. ;
Consider an acknowledgment box
that lists everyone who
contributed to an issue;
