Different Kinds of Make Up

Newspaper Makeup

• "Newspaper makeup" is defined as the design of a

newspaper page or the manner in which pictures,

headlines and news stories are arranged on a page.

Types of Front Page

MakeupBy Way of Headline and Text

Arrangement

The Scholastic Journalism by Earl English and Clarence Hach gives the following types of front page makeup

by way of headline and text arrangement.

1- Perfect Balance Makeup

(Balance or Symmetrical Makeup)

-A large headline placed, for example in the right-

hand column front page, is balanced with a corresponding

large one in the first and second column.

-Other headlines are similarly arranged. A one-

column cut at the top of the column four.

2. Brace or Focus Makeup

-Headlines are diagonally arranged from the upper left

to the lower right hand corner or vice-versa just like

a brace supporting a house.

-balance is obtained by various devices such as two-

column heads, boxes, and cuts which are used to

offset the weight concentrated in the upper right or

upper left hand corner.

3. Broken Column Makeup-the page is broken into several units to give space to many stories.

-symmetry is obtained be carefully arranging the contents so as not to cancel each other by their nearness. Large heads and cuts are placed where they give the page a pleasing pattern.

4. Occult Makeup

-type groups are arranged at varying distances from

the center like two boys on a see-saw.

-it is sometimes called occult or hidden balance

because the type group with its headline may be balanced

with a picture, an illustration or a bow, instead of another

type group.

5. Streamline Makeup-the format is similar to that of the contrast and

balance makeup. However, the nameplate is usually

floated, headlines are flushed up in cap and lower-case

(clc) type, and large body types are often used.

-instead of boxing stories in full, three quarter boxes

are restored to.

6. Circus Makeup- it is broken-column carried to the extreme. The page

is broken up with no attempt at regularity, symmetry,

or order.

-Many headlines of all size; boxes and cuts are

scattered all over the page, each clamoring for

attention, and screaming as barkers carnival circus do.

There is no focus of interest.

Makeup by way of Text and Photo Combination Layout for Front page:

• The X Format • The Curve Format• The L Format• The J Format• The Umbrella Format

•Makeup of inside pages

• News page Inside news pages should be laid out as facing page

units rather than as single pages. • Editorial Page These pages should have a distinctive, dignified and

formal appearance. The masthead or editorial box which should be relatively small may be anchored in any corner as done in streamlined newspapers.

• Feature Page These pages must have a literary and feminine

appearance. The columns are often wider. • Sports Page The pages have a bolder and more lively appearance

than other pages. Their makeup should suggest their content, action, speed and color. Large bold heads even streamers are used.
