Collect an example of the front page of your favorite electronic newspaper or service. Capture the image
Question:
Collect an example of the front page of your favorite electronic newspaper or service. Capture the image electronically and then import it to a design program, such as Adobe Illustrator. "Select the entire page"
and use the software to "gray out the transparency of the page" so you can still see the shapes of the textual and graphic elements, but not read them. Then, use the software's tools to trace the grid of the page and make a grid overlay. Pay attention to the underlying structure of the body copy and graphics. Save the original page in full color and the page with your grid overlay. Bring the files to class and be prepared to describe how the content is displayed. How many columns and rows are employed in the design? What are they used for? Why is the information grouped as it is?
