Example of a Possible Style Layout for Newspaper

Today we have been given a double page spread article which was called 'the ocr a2 critical perspectives in media exam'. We then look over this article and annotated it to show how it was laid out and what styles they used to present it.
Below is an image of the article that I annotated and also how I thought they laid out this article.


















The first thing I noticed was that they used a simple but bold font as the title of the article which was situated so it is the first thing that you see. It is not clear from the image, but they also used a mathematical background to relate to the content of the text. Under the title they have used a subtitle which is in a slightly different font but is as simple and is in a slightly smaller case. Then throughout the article they have used this same font as the subtitle, for the headings for each section of the article. For the important name in the first paragraph they have used a bolder text so that it stands out as important information and they have also done the same thing at the end of the article and used a box around the author of the article.
