The small hand pulls the big hand to copy the newspaper

Design and production of handwritten newspapers Handwritten newspapers are one of the forms of extracurricular activities for middle school students. Students directly participate in the whole process of editing, writing, production, etc., and it is deeply loved by students. Whenever there is a major festival, we will express it in various forms, either wishing, celebrating or singing songs, such as welcoming New Year's Day, welcoming "May 4th", celebrating "July 1", celebrating National Day, etc. Recently, many students actively participated in the "2003 First National Handwritten Newspaper Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students" co-organized by the Educational Information Research Center of the Central Institute of Educational Science and the China Educational Information Research Association. Here, I will talk to you about how to design and produce handwritten newspapers. Generally speaking, it can be explained from these three aspects: 1. The steps of beautification and design; 2. The performance of masthead, illustrations and tail flowers;

3. Edit, copy and describe the production process. 1. Beautification and design The scope of beautification and design of handwritten newspapers mainly includes: layout design and masthead, inscriptions, illustrations, tail flowers and lace design, etc. 1. Layout design Layout design is an important part of producing a good handwritten newspaper. To design a good layout, you must pay attention to the following points: (1) Make it clear what the main content of this issue's handwritten newspaper is, and choose a meaningful masthead (i.e. registration). Generally, the masthead should be designed in the most eye-catching position; (2) Read through the article you are editing or writing and count the number of words, and edit (i.e. typesetting) according to the content and length of the article. Generally, important articles are placed in a prominent position (i.e., the front page); (3) Pay attention to the interweaving of long and short articles and the combination of horizontal and vertical arrangement to make the layout neat and lively; (4) When typesetting, attention must also be paid to: the arrangement of words is horizontal Mainly and vertically supplemented, 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 of space around the paper. In addition, the registration surface must be kept clean and tidy at all times.

2. Masthead The masthead plays the role of getting straight to the point. It must closely match the theme content and vividly reflect the main ideas of the handwritten newspaper. Sign up to get a name that is positive, healthy, and meaningful. The masthead is generally determined by theme graphics, masthead text and geometric shapes, color blocks or lace. It can be serious or lively, square or round, elegant or colorful. When designing the masthead, you should pay attention to: (1) The composition should be stable and the picture structure should be compact. The masthead should be concise in design and expression techniques, and should reflect the theme of the handwritten newspaper and have the effect of being "clear at a glance"; (2) The characters should be large. , the font may be line or regular script, or color or black and white; (3) There are several design options for its position: first, if the layout is designed to be two pages, it should be placed in the upper right part; second, if the layout is designed to be a full page, it can be Or in the middle or upper left or upper right. Generally, they are designed at the upper part of the layout and should not be placed at the lower end. 3. Title The title (i.e. the inscription) is usually at the front of the article or combined with the title picture of the article. When designing the title, pay attention to the title text, which should be slightly larger. Decorative graphics must be determined according to the content of the article and the needs of the layout. The title of the article should be written smaller than the text of the title and larger than the text of the main text. In short, we should pay attention to the clear distinction between priorities. 4. Illustrations and tail flowers Illustrations are designed according to the needs of content and layout decoration. Good illustrations can both beautify the layout and help readers understand the content of the article. The space occupied by the illustrations and tail flowers should not be too large, as they may appear empty and messy. Tail flowers are mostly designed for the purpose of beautifying the layout, and are mostly based on flowers, grass or geometric patterns. Illustrations and tail flowers are not required for all articles. The more the better, and they deserve the "finishing touch" effect. 5. Lace Lace is indispensable in handwritten newspapers. Some mastheads and titles can be designed with lace; important articles can be framed with lace; articles can also be separated with lace; some entire pages can also be separated with lace from top to bottom or left and right. Most commonly used in the application of lace are straight lines or wavy lines.

2. Expression techniques for masthead paintings, illustrations and tail flowers. Expression techniques for masthead paintings, illustrations and tail flowers can be roughly divided into two types: line drawing and color block painting. 1. Line drawing method requires the image to be concise and summarized, the lines to be used accurately, and the priorities to be clear. When painting, you should pay attention to certain steps: (1) Generally draw the main line briefly - determine the angle, direction and size; (2) Then draw the proportion, structure and perspective related to the picture; (3) Describe the details and combine them Physical structure, composition, and tone draw the rhythmic changes of the lines; (4) Finally, organize to make the picture complete and unified. 2. Color block painting method In addition to requiring accurate modeling, you must also be good at handling the matching and changing relationships of color blocks. The processing of these relationships should be based on the needs of the object to make the layout rich in color.

When painting, you can first draw a pencil sketch (strive to have an accurate shape), then apply large color blocks evenly and evenly; then draw the details; and finally trim it to make it more unified and perfect. Line drawing and color block painting are usually used at the same time, and they can be multi-color or single-color. Whether it is line drawing or color block drawing, it is best not to just use pencil to draw. Graphics or text on the layout cannot be cut and pasted. 3. Steps in the preparation and production of a handwritten newspaper. The preparation and production of a handwritten newspaper 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. Specific details include: drafting the registration for this issue's handwritten newspaper; preparing a piece of white stick paper (the size depends on the need, including half-open, four-open, eight-open, etc. The requirements for the handwritten newspaper competition held by the Political and Education Office are: The size of "Jiangxi Daily" (i.e. half-open); relevant text materials for editing and writing (you should prepare more articles); writing and drawing tools, etc. 2. Preparation stage. This stage is the main process of handwritten newspaper production. Roughly speaking, they are: layout design, copying process, and beautification process. (1) Layout design: Type layout according to the length of the article, and draw grids or grid lines (usually lightly traced with a pencil, you can erase it or not after the handwritten newspaper is produced). (2) Copying process: refers to the writing of articles. The paper used for handwritten newspapers is mostly white, so carbon ink should be used for text writing; running script and regular script should be used for fonts, and cursive script and seal script should be used sparingly; the size of the characters should be moderate (in line with normal reading habits). Don't be afraid if the handwriting is not very beautiful. The key is that the writing must be neat. Also, there should be no typos in the article or title. (3) Beautification process: After the article is copied, illustrations, tail flowers, and lace can be drawn (it is not advisable to illustrate first and then copy) to beautify the entire layout. This process is to produce the handwritten newspaper layout
