How to do handwritten newspaper?

Design and production of handwritten newspaper

Handwritten newspaper is one of the forms for middle school students to carry out extracurricular activities. Students directly participate in the whole process of editing, writing and production, which is deeply loved by students. Whenever there are major festivals, we will express them in various forms, or wish or celebrate or sing, such as welcoming New Year's Day, May 4th, July 1st and National Day. Recently, the "First National Handwritten Newspaper Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students in 2003" was held jointly by the Education Information Research Center of Central Education Institute and China Education Information Research Association. Many students actively participated in it and achieved certain results.

Here, I want to talk to you about how to design and make handwritten newspapers, which can be described from these three aspects:

First, the steps of beautification and design;

The second is the performance of header, illustration and tail flower;

Third, edit and copy the production process.

First, the beautification design of handwritten newspaper mainly includes: layout design and header, title flower, illustration, tail flower and lace design.

1, layout design

Layout design is an important link in making a good handwritten newspaper.

To design a good layout, we must pay attention to the following points:

(1) Make clear what is the main content of this issue's handwritten newspaper, and choose a meaningful header (i.e. registration). Generally, the header should be designed in the most eye-catching position;

(2) Read through the edited or written article and calculate its word count, and edit it according to the content and length of the article (that is, typesetting). Generally, important articles are placed in a prominent position (that is, on the front page);

(3) pay attention to the combination of long and short articles interspersed with horizontal and vertical rows to make the layout clean and lively;

(4) attention should also be paid to typesetting: the arrangement of words should be mainly horizontal and supplemented by vertical, the line spacing should be greater than the word spacing, there should be gaps between articles, there should be gaps between articles and edges, and there should be about 3CM blank edges around the paper. In addition, newspapers should always be kept clean and tidy.

Headlines play a direct role, which must closely match the theme and vividly reflect the main ideas of handwritten newspapers. Registration should have a positive, healthy and meaningful name.

Second, the header is generally determined by the theme graphics, header text and geometric color blocks or lace, or serious or lively, or square or round, or elegant or colorful.

Header design should pay attention to:

(1) The composition should be stable, the picture structure should be compact, the header design and expression should be concise, and the theme of handwritten newspaper should be reflected at a glance;

(2) its characters should be large, with lines or letters, or color or black and white;

(3) There are several design schemes for its position: first, if the typesetting design is two pages, it should be placed at the upper right; Second, if the typesetting design is full-page, it can be in the middle, on the left or on the right. Usually, they are designed at the upper part of the layout, not at its lower end.

The title (that is, the title flower) is usually in front of the article or combined with the title picture of the article. When designing the title, pay attention to the title text, which is slightly larger. Decorative graphics should be based on the content and layout of the article. The title of the article should be smaller than the title body, but larger than the body. In short, we should pay attention to clear priorities.

Illustration is designed according to the needs of content and layout decoration. Good illustrations can beautify the layout and help readers understand the content of the article. Don't occupy too big a position in illustrations and credits, it is easy to appear empty and messy. Tail flowers are mostly designed for the needs of page beautification, mostly flowers or geometric patterns. Illustrations and transcripts are not necessary for all articles. The more the better, the more the better.

Lace is indispensable in handwritten newspapers. Some headers and headers can be designed with lace; Important articles are framed with lace; Articles can also be separated by lace; Some whole pages can also be separated up and down or left and right with lace. In the use of lace, straight lines or wavy lines are often used.

The expressions of head painting, illustration and tail painting can be roughly divided into line drawing and color block painting.

1, draw a line

It requires concise and general images, accurate lines and clear focus. Pay attention to some steps when painting:

(1) generally sketch the main line-determine the angle, direction and size;

(2) Draw the scale, structure and perspective related to the diagram;

(3) Describe the details, and draw the rhythm changes of lines in combination with body structure, composition and color;

(4) Finally, arrange them to make the picture complete and unified.

2. Color block painting

In addition to accurate modeling, we should also be good at dealing with the collocation and change relationship of color blocks, which should be handled from the needs of the object to make the layout colorful. When drawing, you can draw a pencil draft first (modeling is as accurate as possible), and then evenly apply large color blocks; Details after characterization; Finally, it is trimmed to make it more unified and perfect. Line drawing and color block drawing are usually used at the same time, which can be multicolored or monochrome. Whether it's line drawing or color block drawing, it's best not to draw only with a pencil. Graphics or text on a page cannot be cut and pasted.

Third, the compilation and drawing steps of handwritten newspaper

Editing and drawing is an important step from conception to concrete completion.

There are two steps: one is the preparation stage, and the other is the preparation stage.

1, preparation stage.

Mainly the preparation of various materials and tools. Specifically, it includes: drafting the registration of the current handwritten newspaper; Prepare a blank sheet of paper (the size depends on the need, such as half-open, four-open, eight-open, etc.). The handwritten newspaper competition organized by the Political and Educational Affairs Office is required to be the size of Jiangxi Daily, that is, half open); Edit and write relevant written materials (prepare more articles); Writing and drawing tools, etc.

2. Preparation stage.

This stage is the main process of making handwritten newspapers.

Roughly: layout design, copying process, beautification process.

(1) Layout design: typesetting according to the length of the article, and drawing a grid or grid line (generally sketched with a pencil, and handwritten newspaper can be erased or not).

(2) Copying process: refers to the writing of articles. Handwritten newspaper paper is mostly white, and carbon ink should be used for writing; Font should be running script and regular script, less cursive script and seal script; The size of the words should be moderate (in line with the usual reading habits). Don't be afraid if the handwriting is not very good. The key is to write neatly. In addition, typos are not allowed in articles or titles.

(3) Beautifying process: After copying the article, you can draw illustrations, tail flowers and lace (it is not advisable to copy illustrations first) to beautify the whole layout. This process is the key to the layout effect of handwritten newspaper.

The handwritten newspaper can be in black and white or in color. It can be comprehensive or thematic. The design requirements and steps of handwritten newspaper and blackboard newspaper are basically the same.

Students, exercise yourself and draw a handwritten newspaper that belongs to you and everyone.
