Fundamentals
of page layout
1. Rank your stories. Evaluate their news
value. Place them in descending order
on the page according to their
importance.
2. Start with the art and build your page
around it. Pages are built around
photographs and graphics. Your design
options often will become clear once
you place your photograph or graphic.
3. Have one dominant element, usually
a photo with a story. Give the reader
one good reason to stop and look at
the page.
4. If you only have one photo, play it
big. Research shows most readers
enter a page by looking at photos.
5. Vary size and shape of photos and
graphics to add visual appeal. Avoid
square photos.
6. Use a mixture of vertical and
horizontal elements to add variety to
the page and to move the reader’s
eyes around it. Avoid stacking the
stories one on top of another.
7. Use photos and other graphic
elements to break up the gray and
avoid tombstoning headlines. Use
secondary photos / graphic to break
up headlines and add life to the
bottom of the page.
8. Honor the hierarchy of type. Use
three-line headline above two-line
headline. Exception: The headline at
the bottom of an open page. Use
48-point headline for an anchor.
9. Use screens and color to add variety
to your pages. Use screens when you
have only one piece of art.
Elements of an
excellent layout
PROPORTION
 deals with the ratio of one part to another and of
the parts to the whole
Example: Pictures must be sized properly to

keep up with other shapes on the page. Square
cuts are undesirable. Length of stories must be
considered. A long story may ruin the proportion
of the page. A jump story is better than a poorly
proportioned page.
UNITY / HARMONY
 refers to the agreement between parts
 Content of every page/double page must blend as a

harmonious unit. No one part of the page should
overshadow another. The headlines should
complement each other and the pictures should not
distract the eyes too much from the type.
BALANCE
 pertains to a feeling of equality in weight
 suggests the gravitational equilibrium of a single

unit or a space arranged with respect to an axis
or a fulcrum
SYMMETRY
 shows a “felt” balance
 Visual units in the other side of the axis are not

identical but are placed in positions so equated to
produce a felt equilibrium.
SYMMETRY
 gives proper importance to the parts and to the
whole. It involves the differentiation between the
more important and the less important.
Example: News/articles must be displayed

according to importance. The news value of every
story must determine to what page it should find
print, its position on the page, and the style and size
of its headline.
Contrast
 the blending of units as one.
 Every head and cut on a page should contrast with

adjoining materials. Contrasting adjacent
headlines will help emphasize the importance of
each other. Boxes and pictures between heads are
sometimes good makeup devices.
PRACTICAL TIPS TO WIN
 Choose members who can perform

multiple roles.
 Strategize according to the strengths

of the team.
 Criticize direct to the point; avoid

sugar coating.
 Choose an interesting angle of the

story.
 Create a “frame” of the story.
 Present distinct style of the newsletter

sections.
 Observe word economy.
 Write catchy and appropriate

headlines.
 Make sure to proofread outputs.

Press Conference Survival Kit
 Take note of answers that may
emerge from an off the cuff remark.
 Note whether the speaker is relaxed or

loses cool when a difficult question is asked.
 Pay attention to the questions raised

by fellow reporters.
 Try to be as informal as possible to

relax the subject, and you may get
an answer that may become a hot
story.
 Speak loudly so that everybody hears

your questions.
 Wait for your chance to ask a question.
 Introduce yourself politely, giving your

name and then ask your question.
Avoid being aggressive or cynical.

 Determine whether there is any
information that was left out.
 Before writing the report, play back the
statements.
 Scan the replies made by the subject at
the press conference.
 Decide the point that is most
newsworthy and build a report around it.
