Description
KIT FOR NEWSPAPER PAGE LAYOUT
Technical Field:
The present invention relates to the field of page layouts for newspapers, newsletters and the like. In particular, to a kit that enables persons with little or no previous knowledge in the field to produce professional looking newspapers and newsletters page layouts.
Background of the Invention:
Community groups commonly produce newspapers either by hiring professionals or using a specialized computer program. The process is expensive in the first instance and time-consuming (with non-professional newspaper, newsletter-style results) in the second.
Because of the expense of hiring professionals, groups are often forced to publish only once a year. Newspapers formatted by computer programs are tedious to produce and also result in fewer issues. These characteristics mean that community volunteers have been hindered from taking part in the communication process offered by community group newsletters.
What is needed is a solution that enables persons with little or no previous knowledge in the field to produce professional looking newspapers and newsletters on a frequent basis.
Summary of Invention:

Detailed Description:
The present invention is directed to a kit used in the laying out of the pages of a newspaper or a newsletter. Herein after references to newspaper and newsletter are to be read as interchangeable. Also, herein after the term "newspaper-in-a-box"
refers to the kit according to the present invention. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the kit comprises a plurality of page layout guides, each of which incorporates one of more graphic elements (including text) arranged according to the dimensions of the sheet media (e.g. paper, newsprint and the like) onto which the newsletter is to be printed, and a paste-up guide. The page layout guides provided in the kit can be in the form of examples printed onto transparencies, paper or combinations thereof.
In order to create a page layout, transparencies are used. Non-transparency examples in the kit can be copied to transparency before they are used. For simplicity, the following description of an exemplary embodiment of the kit of the present invention contains page layout guides provided in the form of printed transparencies but it will be understood that the description applies to alternative embodiments including page layout guides in the form of printed paper which can copied onto transparencies.
The contents of the page layout guides included in a newspaper-in-a-box according to the present invention can be adapted to specific prospective users.
Designing a custom newspaper-in-a-box usually begins with a consultation between the kit designer and the prospective users. The goal is to identify the various interests and areas of concern for the group. Each interest or concern is related to a descriptor word or title. These words or titles become both the page "flags" which compartmentalize the newsletter, and also a focus and energizer for the reporting which brings in basic material for the newsletter.
The nameplate for the newspaper, the folio lines, the "flags", and the masthead are first produced on computer or using LetrasetTM and then photocopied onto transparencies. These items are simply cut from the transparencies with scissors and attached using adhesive tape (i.e. arranged and mounted) to the page layout (i.e. master page of a master copy). The transparency material may be re-used in the laying out of subsequent newsletters.
Simple hints covering meetings; writing cutlines/headlines; legal issues, as well as taking and producing black-and-white photos to use in the newsletter can be provide together with the newspaper-in-a-box kit.
Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an exemplary page layout guide 100 according to the present invention containing a nameplate 102 and a masthead 104 which can be created using Letraset~'''i and border tape or a computer. The nameplate 102 is chosen by consultation with the group and demonstrates the importance of the participants being involved in the creation of the design.
The nameplate 102 and masthead 104 are photocopied on a transparency, ready to be cut out with scissors and taped to the newsletter master copy. This demonstrates that newspaper-in-a-box is a hands-on, participatory experience, designed to involve a number of unskilled volunteers. The use of transparencies permits the kit to be used again and again. This not only reduces costs but the familiarity of re-using materials enhances the learning of new skills.
Figure 2 is a schematic representation of an exemplary page layout guide 100 containing flags 106 according to the present invention to be cut out and used in the newsletter. The flags 106 serve, as usual, to compartmentalize the newsletter.
The difference here is that the flags 106 are chosen in consultation with the group. 'They embody the areas of concern and interests of the group. Indeed, the process of choosing flags 106 can help the group . actually focus on main concerns and direction.
Used by unskilled volunteers in community communication, the flags 106 facilitate the production of material for the newsletter by providing areas of focus for the participants.
Figure 3 is a schematic representation of an exemplary page layout guide 100 containing folio lines 108 according to the present invention. The folio lines can be cut from the transparency and taped to the master pages. They are designed so the page number is always at the outer edge of the page. This makes it easier for the participants to assemble the master pages for photocopying. For example, pages 2 and 15 form a complementary fold of a 16 page newsletter. Because the page number 2 is placed at the left side of the folio line (and page number 15 is at the right), volunteers immediately know to tape page 2 to the left and page 15 to the right. When photocopied and folded, each page will appear in the proper sequence.
Figure 4 is a schematic representation of an exemplary page layout guide 100 of a dummy page 110 according to the present invention. As is well know in the art, a dummy page can be used to design a "master page" by providing an exemplary page layout to which specific instances of content can be adapted. In the context of producing community newsletters, using dummy pages 110 allows more participants to participate in the planning and design. It also permits more experienced volunteers to pass on skills to their colleagues. Finally the dummy page 110s provide a shortcut to production by bringing order to what can be, for inexperienced volunteers, a baffling disarray of copy, photos and graphics.
Figure 5 is a schematic representation of a paste-up guide 112 according to the present invention. The black lines on the guide can be seen through the master page.
This is enhanced when a light box is used to provide back lighting of the master page as is well know in the art. Plans for a simple light box can be provided together with newspaper-in-a-box. The paste-up guide 112 makes it easy for the volunteers to align (both vertically and horizontally) their copy and photos. The paste-up guide 112 also embodies the design principles of a simple, two column format for inexperienced participants. For example, the volunteers don't have to know why a "gutter" is used or what it is; the paste-up guide 112 provides a format for the page.
Figure 6 is a schematic representation of exemplary page layout guides 100 each containing a sample dummy page 110 according to the present invention. The samples reinforce the simple two column layout of newspaper-in-a-box. A common problem of beginning newsletter producers is to throw together a chaos of disassociated, vertical pieces which lack structure and coherence. The horizontal structure embodied in the sample dummy pages 110, as well as the minimal number of measurements (one-quarter inch vertical spacing; only three horizontal measurements - three inches, one-half inch, and six and one-half inches / for fax newsletters one-quarter inch vertical spacing and horizontal measurements- two and one-quarter inches, one-half inch and five inches) make it possible for an inexperienced person to create a community newsletter with a pleasing professional appearance.
Newspaper-in-a-box can work as a group process with production responsibility shared by a number of individuals with different skills.
The dummy pages 110 (Figures 4 and 6) are used to design the newsletter. One of the sample dummy pages 110 that contains elements similar in nature to those of the page being layout is selected. A broad marker is used to arrange stories and photos (i.e.
elements) in a pleasing design in accordance with those of the selected dummy page. The size of the photos and the first few words of the cutlines/headlines are marked in. Page flags 106 can be used to compartmentalize the newsletter according to content categories.
The dummy page 110 represents, for example, a page eight and one half by eleven inches (eight and one-half by seven inches for fax newsletters). The page begins, for example, vertically one-quarter inch below the folio line and ends one-quarter inch from the bottom of the page.
The paste-up guide 112 (Figure 5) can be taped to a piece of Bristol board or cardboard. Then another eight and one-half by eleven inch sheet is taped on top of the paste-up guide 112. In alternative embodiment eight and one-half by fourteen inch sheet can be used, for example, for a fax newsletter. The black vertical/horizontal lines on the paste-up guide 112 make it possible to keep headlines, photos and copy straight on the page.
The nameplate 102 (Figure 1) can be cut out and taped evenly on the page (for example page 1) one-quarter inch below the top. A black-an-white photograph (e.g, six and one-half inches or five inches for fax newsletters) can be taped one-quarter inch below the nameplate 102. A cutline (identifying what the photograph is about) can be taped one-quarter inch below the photograph.

The paste-up guide 112 (Figure 5) can be taped to a piece of Bristol board or cardboard. Then another eight and one-half by eleven inch sheet is taped on top of the paste-up guide 112. In alternative embodiment eight and one-half by fourteen inch sheet can be used, for example, for a fax newsletter. The black vertical/horizontal lines on the paste-up guide 112 make it possible to keep headlines, photos and copy straight on the page.

A cutline (identifying what the photograph is about) can be taped one-quarter inch below the photograph.
Other pages after page one require folio lines 108. The folio lines 108 (Figure 3) are cut out and taped one-quarter inch from the top of their respective pages.
Exceptions are pages with flags 106 (Figure 2), such as an editorial page. Here the page number can be taped inside the flags 106 which are, in turn, taped on the page one-quarter inch from the top. Headlines are centred horizontally across the page one-quarter inch above the story. Heads may be created (in for example 30 point size) using a computer and the printout taped to the page. Another method is to apply Letraset~ directly to the page.
Stories may be printed by computer or typed in columns, for example, three inches wide (two and one-quarter for fax newsletter). They can be taped on to the page 1'0 so the lines are even and each column begins and ends on the same line.
After paste-up the pages are taped evenly to eleven by seventeen inches (corresponding to two eight and one-half by fourteen pages) sheets of paper.
Page one is taped to one side of the sheet and page two to the other side. If the newsletter is, for example, sixteen pages long page 16 will be taped next to page one and page 15' will be taped next to page two. Alternatively, eight and one-half by eleven paper or eight and one-half by seven for fax newsletter may be photocopied and stapled but folding gives a more professional look. The "masters" are simply photocopied to both sides of eleven by seventeen inch sheets or eight and one-half for fax newsletter. Collating and folding finish off the community newsletter.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that numerous modifications and departures from the specific embodiments described herein may be made without departing.
from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
