  • Glossary of Design Terms
    GLOSSARY OF TERMS Typography - The artistic arrangement of type in a readable and visually appealing way. Typography usually concerns the design and use of various typefaces in a way that helps to better visually communicate ideas. Vector images - Vector-based images (such as those created in Adobe Illustrator) are made up of points, each of which has a defined X and Y coordinate. These points join paths to form shapes, and inside these shapes you can add color fills. Because everything is generated based around this, vectors can be resized to any size without any loss of quality. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based program. Raster images - (sometimes referred to as bitmap images) are made up of thousands of pixels which determine the color and form of the image. Photos are raster images. Because raster images are made up of a finite amount of pixels, resizing can be tricky. If you make a raster image larger dimensions in Photoshop, the software has to make up data in order to add the size. This results in loss of quality. Adobe Photoshop is a raster-based program. Body Copy - The main part of text in your design or publication – the written website content, the book contents, even this type you’re reading right now, it’s all body copy. Display Type - Type that is designed with the objective of attracting attention. Think of movie titles on posters, article titles in magazines, newspaper headlines, etc. Hierarchy - The visual arrangement of design elements in a way that signifies importance. For example, you might make a title big and bold to ensure it attracts more attention than a small, lightly colored image caption.

They have a limited number of choices in a given range. They have shades or weight. Type on a page appears as a gray block to the eye. Weight is a degree of boldness or shade. Weight helps the viewer determine what is most important. It creates interest and attractive design. Varying type weights give the illusion of depth to a page. Darker type moves forwards and lighter type receeds. This helps emphasize what elements should be viewed and in what order. These direct the eye of the observer or reader. This is presentation strategy.

  • Catching Attention with Automatic Pull Quote Selection
    Catching Attention with Automatic Pull Quote Selection Tanner Bohn Charles X. Ling Western University Western University London, ON, Canada London, ON, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract To advance understanding on how to engage readers, we advocate the novel task of automatic pull quote selection. Pull quotes are a component of articles specifically designed to catch the at- tention of readers with spans of text selected from the article and given more salient presentation. This task differs from related tasks such as summarization and clickbait identification by several aspects. We establish a spectrum of baseline approaches to the task, ranging from handcrafted features to a neural mixture-of-experts to cross-task models. By examining the contributions of individual features and embedding dimensions from these models, we uncover unexpected properties of pull quotes to help answer the important question of what engages readers. Human evaluation also supports the uniqueness of this task and the suitability of our selection models. The benefits of exploring this problem further are clear: pull quotes increase enjoyment and read- ability, shape reader perceptions, and facilitate learning. Code to reproduce this work is available at https://github:com/tannerbohn/AutomaticPullQuoteSelection. 1 Introduction Discovering what keeps readers engaged is an important problem. We thus propose the novel task of automatic pull quote (PQ) selection accompanied with a new dataset and insightful analysis of several motivated baselines. PQs In a way, a PQ is like are graphical elements of articles with thought provoking spans of text pulled from an article by a writer or copy ed- clickbait, except that it itor and presented on the page in a more salient manner is not lying to people.

  • Moving Your Theme Beyond the Cover Written by Becka Cremer
    Moving your theme beyond the cover Written by Becka Cremer There is no such thing as a perfect theme, but any theme can become a great theme. The trick is to develop the theme thoroughly and commit to it. But before you can commit to a theme, you must understand your school and your students. Allow the details of your school and of the year to drive your theme. Once you do that, then examine ways to express those details that make up your school. For example, choose a phrase your students identify with or use daily. You can then use the theme phrase to inspire content and design elements. Your theme’s verbal and visual elements can influence every choice your staff makes. Headline, caption and body copy fonts; folio graphics; sidebar content and format; even the questions your reporters ask sources can all relate back to your theme concept. The more your staff refers back to its theme phrase and concept and thematic design elements, the stronger your theme will be. When it is time for you to start working on the theme for your next yearbook, check out these spreads from four yearbooks across the country. Each staff chose a different theme and approached theme development in vastly different ways. What each of them has in common, however, is total commitment to the theme concept. Le Fleuve 2010 Our Lady of Lourdes Academy Miami, Fla. Theme: “Spoken” Adviser: Rebecca Retana Editor: Alexandra Garrigo Cover “Words bring life to our memories,” the editor of the 2010 Le Fleuve writes in the colophon.
