Design and Layout

Layout is important as it is what catches the viewers eye. The placement of images can be based on colour, shape, or on a narrative to present a dynamic meaning.

For the layout of my images in the newspaper, I want my images to narrate the contrast between the two people and their lifestyles in the two images as religion and construction were two important factors in the previous development of St Helier. I also want to use colour as a way to show this contrast for example by using a black and white image on one page and a coloured image on the other.

I may choose to alter the size of the images based on the importance of one image over the other.

A similar theme that I will think about when selecting and laying out my images in my actual zine is “signs of living” as St Helier is the most populated parish on the Island. I will match images by colour in order to show difference or similarity.
