Tabloid Newspaper



Do you ever peruse the tabloid magazines when on the checkout line in the supermarket. I think they are hilarious! You never no what crazy headline will appear. Elvis, Bigfoot and the Batboy always seem to make an appearance.

Assignment:

Create your own Tabloid Magazine

Procedure:
  1. Start with the original tabloid image. Found in the Student Commons.
  2. Block out the major areas.
  3. Create a new “Herald”, include date, issue etc.
  4. Manipulate images and insert them. Every photo must be manipulated in some way!
  5. Stretch text to fit as columns. Make sure your type is "justified". Remember the "Snap To" and "Guidelines" are your friend.
  6. Make a mailing label with a drop shadow.
  7. Add a bar code with Date and Company website address. (The blank bar-code is found in the student commons.)
