Articles

Before inserting my articles into my newspaper on InDesign I made the articles separately in  a word document. Once I finished the articles in the word document I then inserted and formatted the text into columns like it would be in a standard newspaper. One of the features I kept in mind when producing the articles was to try to reduce paragraph sizes to around two sentences a paragraph which is a standard convention for a newspaper to reduce text congestion. Another aspect I tried to apply was to make sure when formatting the articles into columns that any words are split so that it is easier to read that meant no hyphens on the end of a line. The last noticeable feature that I tried to implement on the formatting stage was to include pull quotes on a couple of the articles. I eventually added a pull quote to both the "Children in Fire Scare" article and my article called "Rescue on Felled Victim". The pull quotes I created were formed with enlarged speech marks to represent a quote with the quote in italics with who it is from. The pull quotes are designed to make better use of the space by separating body text to therefore make it easier to read. Below are my formatted articles:
