For this activity we chose a headline from a news website and some related images to go along with it. First we made the headline and chose a bold sans serif font that is very legible to make it stand out on the page. We also decreased the leading to improve the appearance. We then made a subheading and centred it, coloured it blue, and put it in italics. We added a drop cap on the first letter of the main article, and chose a simple serif font that is very legible for the body text. We placed two images inside circle frames and wrapped the text around them to integrate them in to the page. Doing this activity helped me to understand the basics of laying out articles and making the pages more interesting and creative by integrating the text with the images. I also learned how to create effective headlines and subheadings by playing around with leading and the style of the font e.g. caps and italics.
