Newspaper typesetting and designing – DTP typesetting rules
The typesetting and designing of newspapers requires from the DTP operator to efficiently navigate the DTP programs and a lot of creativity.
Arrangement of text and graphic accents in a newspaper, choosing the right fonts, arranging headers, an editorial, choosing the right graphics, this is the key to composing a modern newspaper layout.
However, the most important thing during newspaper typesetting process is communication with the client. We determine what the newspaper’s graphic design should look like on an ongoing basis, take into account current corrections, improve the typographic layout and work on the newspaper until the last moment.
At the client’s request, we can also develop a crossword puzzle, create vector infographics or design a newspaper advertisement.
When typeset a newspaper, it is extremely important to synchronize the various stages of its creation, because time is a key here. The newspaper has a specific deadline by which it must be printed, so we watch this very closely. We adapt our calendar to often short deadlines, in which we must absolutely fit.
Newspaper typesetting & breaking – layout design
Our advertising studio and DTP studio operate on the latest, available Adobe CC and Corel Draw software. We have calibrated monitors that perfectly reflect the colors that will be visible after printing.
When creating newspaper compositions, we get enriched with specially designed infographics, frames, we draw pictures (we remove the background). We also choose to use the font for text, headers, titles, subheadings so that the whole looks coherent and modern.
