The document describes the process of designing a broadsheet newspaper layout in InDesign. Key details include: - Fonts, images, and layouts were tested to create the design for a broadsheet article about hip hop artist 50 Cent. - The finished layout includes a large central image of 50 Cent surrounded by the title in a distinctive font. The article is placed in two columns below. - Additional content like a football preview and another story were added to fill white space on the page. Guidelines, grids, and moving elements ensured a professional layout.

1. Task 7 Development

2. Here are some different fonts I
have decided to experiment
with for my master head. I will
take these fonts into
consideration when coming to
produce my double page
spread and I will chose one of
these that best fits the criteria
for Hip Hop Sub culture as this
is what my broadsheet is
going to be about. The
majority of fonts I have
decided upon are big and bold
which is necessary as it’s the
aspect that needs to stand out
the most on the page for the
reader to relate with and want
to read the article.

To the right I have included some fonts that were
assessable through Microsoft Power Point. These
particular fonts I thought were appropriate for my
theme of Hip Hop as well as being easy to read for the
body of the article. Some of these fonts could also be
used for page numbers, subheadings and/or anything
that needs to stand out on the page for example, a pull
quote. These fonts are all quite universal which is good
in a way that it will all flow and fit in together with the
images and the master head I decide to use.

7. Here are some sourced images from the internet
that I will consider to use when producing my
broadsheet page article. As the information and
copy I will be using relates to hip hop music and is
based on former singer ‘50 cent’ I need to be
careful that the photographs that I choose do not
contain any offensive imagery but are relevant to
the article. It is important that I carefully chose a
specific photograph that does not exceed the
guidelines of what I will not be legally allowed to
use for the audience as some of the photographs
can be very explicit. In this case, explicit imagery
will not be needed.

8. BroadsheetProduce a formal layout for a broadsheet newspaper, based on your written work for your broadsheet article from the Writing
Copy unit. You should use your existing text and source appropriate imagery to support it. Where appropriate, additional
stories or adverts can be added to the page, to suit the style of newspaper. You should produce flat plans prior to starting
your production work. You should gather a range of suitable images. You should test and decide on appropriate font choices.
Page size should be 375mm x 597mm. Resolution should be 300 pixels per inch.
You should use your knowledge gained from different page layout tasks along with your understanding of the target audience
to create the page layout.
You should take lots of screen shots during production to show how you have constructed your page and made your designs
decisions

9. This is my broadsheet article
that I have created using the
program ‘InDesign’. This
program is specifically used to
create leaflets and layouts for
things such as broadsheets and
tabloids. Previously during this
project I have used this program
within my research to gain
knowledge on layout and how to
use the program which has
helped me a lot. I have created
my broadsheet to be from ‘the
times’ newspaper. Using a
master head for my broadsheet
makes it look a lot more
profession.al. I could have
created my own master head
and name for the newspaper but
the time limit and contingency
did not allow me to do so. The
photograph I have included is
the former singer ‘50 cent’. I
have placed this in the middle of
the page and enlarged it to be
the biggest aspect. I have done
this because it draws the
attention of the readers with the
vivid colours and the intriguing
expressions and pose of the
person in the photograph.
Underneath the photograph is
where I have placed the title of
my article. I have used a font
from Dafont.com which included
a black background. This again
is something unique and
different that will make it
appealing to the reader.

10. The title and the imagery takes up almost half of the page. I decided to do
it this way because my article was not particularly long, and I needed the
page to specifically focus on the one article. I placed the story in two
columns below the photograph. I have used a drop capita to start the
article off,. This is good for the reader as it allows your eyes to figure out
where the start of the article is as there are many different aspects and text
upon the page. This also helps the flow of the reader with a little bit of
guidance. I have interpreted a pull quote into my article to make it seem
and look more interesting to the audience. I have also used it on a specific
part of text that the audience can relate to as well as making it more
appealing by drawing the attention of the readers in. In some ways this can
be one of the first bits of text that the audience will see, therefore it needs
to be something that is intriguing and interesting for the reader to actually
want to start reading the story.
Next to my article I found that while creating i had a lot of white space
remaining to the right of the page. I did not have anything specific that I
had planned to put in this space as I didn’t know that there was going to be
any left. I decided to go through my research and look at what I had
previously experimented on the program in design. A story that I have
great knowledge of had been used several times throughout my research
therefore I decided to fill the space with another story that will follow on
through the newspaper to a different page. Using this makes the
broadsheet look more professional and will also give the audience an incite
to what else is in the newspaper.
At the top of the broadsheet article I have decided to add some information
about a football article. I have done this because almost every newspaper
has information about football which is usually at the back. During my
research I found that various different stories and straplines were placed
upon newspapers to draw every kind of reader into buying the newspaper.
I have also included the price of the newspaper to the right and the date to
the left; this again is something I discovered was on newspapers during my
research stages.

11. Grids &
GuidesThe grids and guides helped me a lot during production of my
broadsheet. It allowed me to create a unique but neat and
professional layout which is what was intended in the brief. I
kept to the specific requirements of the size which is 375mm x
597mm. I used an 8x8 grid that gave me the chance to input all
the information accordingly. During production the 8 by 8
guides I used started off by being a set width apart of each
other. I found that moving the guides around allowed me to
input information in different places on the page that I would
never have been able to exceed if I was to keep to the original
8 by 8.. For example, as you can see at the top of the page I
have included information about football at the top, with the
master head following on below with the date and the price of
the newspaper. I had to move the guides around to make sure
that it was all still neat and tidy and looking professional. The
photograph was the first aspect that I inputted. This was
because I knew I wanted it to be the largest aspect on the
page therefore I needed it to fit a certain requirement for the
other information to be able to fit around it.
