Full textAbstract:
In 1990, George Gladney looked at 230 of the nation's largest dailies to see the influence of USA Today. He determined a score for each paper by looking at five categories: color; pictures and graphics; trivia and fluff; brevity, capsulization and promotion; and complexity and depth. After he determined scores for each paper, he ranked them and divided them into adopters and non-adopters. Even though two papers scored above USA Today, he found that most newspapers had a long way to go before they would look like USA Today. He also found that chain-owned papers tended more to be adopters than non-adopters.This researcher duplicated his study using 34 papers with more than 50,000 daily circulation in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. Using Gladney's scoring system, the papers were given scores according to certain criteria. Some categories were further divided. The trivia and fluff category was divided into celebrity coverage, sports coverage and weather. The brevity, complexity and depth category was subdivided into text six inches or less and summaries, indices and promotions. The complexity and depth category was divided into lead sentence length and the length of the longest page 1 stories.Newspapers were divided into groups: "adopters" and "non-adopters" of the USA Today style. This study found that eight of the 34 papers were non-adopters and five were adopters.Eight papers scored above USA Today. This study showed that neither the adopter nor the non-adopter group had the majority of the newspapers. USA Today fell in between these groups making it part of the norm.There was a correlation between chain-owned newspapers and adopting the USA Today style. This study did not support Gladney's original conclusion that smallercirculation newspapers tended to be more adopting of the USA Today style. As newspaper circulations decreased, newspaper scores did not increase. Larger newspapers were not more resistant to the USA Today style.Department of Journalism

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the research was to look at how editors at Gannett, America's largest newspaper chain, perceive the role of journalism graphics and graphic artists in the newsroom.Nineteen editors from newspapers of various circulation sizes, participated from across the country. They sorted Q statements that covered areas related to journalism graphics as: use of color, balancing graphics with other content, graphics relationship with design, reader needs, and how graphics serve literacy.An analysis of the Q statements collected for this study showed two distinct factor types. They were identified by this researcher as the Communitarians and the Zealots.The Communitarians were characterized as trying to balance graphics with other aspects of journalism such as story, photo and design in an attempt to put the reader first. They were unwilling to elevate graphics to a necessity in presenting a story. The Communitarians saw graphics as one tool among many to conveyinformation.The Zealots saw graphics as an absolute necessity for any worthy journalistic endeavor. They saw graphics as the answer to attracting young readers, to serving a population with literacy issues, and to enhancing any work the newspaper is doing. The Zealots rejected statements that did not show graphics in the most positive way.Two camps emerged within the Gannett ranks regarding journalism graphics. The Zealots hold on to the allure of color and graphics made popular by USA Today in the 1980s and early 1990s. Communitarians acknowledged that graphics are an effective tool, but considered the practice of similar importance with other methods of conveying information.Department of Journalism

Schmitt, Charmaine Elieth. "A protocol analysis study on the process of designing a newspaper front page." Virtual Press, 1995. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/958775.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis was a descriptive study of the process of designing a newspaper front page by three journalists. The newspaper industry has placed increased importance on journalistic design. However, little research had been completed on the mental processes of designers.This study was concerned with the processes that occur as professional journalists designed a front page of a newspaper as determined by protocol analysis. Three Indiana newspapers,The Evansville Courier, The South Bend Tribune and The Times from Munster, Ind., were selected. The individual who designed the front page on a regular basis participated in the protocol sessions.The conclusions showed that these designers spent the majority of the design process planning and analyzing materials to be used. The majority of all decisions made by the designers were based on past design knowledge. The journalists applied their skills in a rapid and confident way as they designed separate portions of the page until all elements were used and the page was complete.Department of Journalism

Smith, Kathryn J. "A Q study of newsroom attitudes toward the roles of newspaper designers." Virtual Press, 2004. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1305453.
Full textAbstract:
Newspapers have increased their emphasis on page design and presentation due to modern design styles, competition, and changes in technology. While newspaper designers have taken on increasingly important roles in newsrooms, professional and academic literature points to a divide between "word" journalists and "visual" journalists. This researcher examined current attitudes toward this divide using Q methodology.Forty-one journalists at four Midwestern newspapers comprised the sample. The journalists sorted 50 Q statements concerning attitudes about the responsibilities of designers and the value of design to the newspaper and its readers.Upon analysis of results, respondents were divided into three factor groups: the Collaborators, the Progressives, and the Traditionalists. Respondents in all three factors agreed that design elements serve readers and cooperation between designers and other journalists benefits readers. Collaborators had the most advanced point of view on the ability of designers and other journalists to effectively work together. Progressives were highly correlated with Collaborators, but placed a heavier emphasis on the product rather than the process, expressing positive attitudes toward the ability of design elements to aid readers and add to the quality of the newspaper. Traditionalists represented a less-advanced point of view, expressing negative feelings toward collaboration and the ability of designers to contribute as journalists. Newspaper policies and philosophies appeared to dictate attitudes toward the role of design, rather than demographic characteristics or job responsibilities.Department of Journalism

George-Palilonis, Jennifer. "Bridging the gap between visual rhetoric and newspaper graphic design : a case study." Virtual Press, 2004. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1293515.
Full textAbstract:
A gap exists between the fields of visual rhetoric and newspaper graphic design caused by three factors: the historic division between words as communication tools and design as artistic effect, the relative youth of visual rhetoric, and the recent evolution of newspaper design as a visual language. This thesis establishes one bridge between visual rhetoric and newspaper graphic design by defining the rhetorical function of newspaper graphic design. Using case study methodology, this report focuses on the rhetorical role of newspaper design in an attempt to further understand how people extract meaning from the newspapers they read. By engaging readers with various newspaper pages and requiring them to comment on their direct interaction with the content, this research illuminates the role of newspapers' visual elements by exploring the following questions: What role do visual elements (i.e. pictures, graphics, color) play in a newspaper reader's meaning making processes? How do page layout and the presentation of story packages affect a reader's understanding and opinions of the information at hand?Department of English

Full textAbstract:
Mediehusen fokuserar nästintill uteslutande på dagstidningar online, då den trycktadagstidningen av olika anledningar saknar positiva framtidsutsikter (Svenska mediehus2014/15 2015). I dagens medieklimat finns det större möjligheter att publicerajournalistik och kunna tjäna pengar på det online och när det kommer till formgivningenfinns det många lika men också olika förutsättningar, i jämförelse med dentryckta dagstidningen. En förutsättning oavsett plattform är formgivningens anpassningefter annonser och affärsmodeller, snarare än läsare och journalistik (6.3.1:5 och6.3.3:5) . En skillnad när det gäller förutsättningar är att det i tryckta medier finns enfrihet i layouten, att skapa både ett horisontellt såväl som vertikalt flöde, medan detonline är standard att till exempel enbart använda sig av en (potentiellt) oändlig spalt.2Det bör alltså läggas stor vikt vid hur man sätter brödtexten i den här enda spalten ochaspekter som typsnitt, whitespace och bildsättning spelar in. Den här uppsatsen fokuserapå en fjärde och lika viktig aspekt: teckengrad.En standard finns sedan länge för den tryckta dagstidningen, men vi ser fortfarandeolika förhållningssätt för dagstidningar på Internet. Annonsanpassade affärsmodellertillsammans med äldre skärmars lågupplösning, har skapat en layout där allawebbtidningens element upplevs som små. Fler och fler indicier pekar nu på att brödtextenförväntas öka i storlek. Följer man den modell som designbyrån InformationArchitects arbetat fram kan man enkelt räkna ut vilken teckengrad en brödtext bör ha,på respektive digital skärm, för att denna text skall motsvara upplevelsen av en tryckttext (Information Architects 2006). Sätter man en brödtext på webben i proportion tillen brödtext i en bok, med önskad motsvarande läsupplevelse, ökar den digitala teckengraden, bland annat eftersom vi läser den på längre avstånd än en tryckt bok. Applicerar man teorier om typografi och läsbarhet, från bland andra typografer somHallberg (1992) och Hellmark (2005), samt designers som Peetre (6.3.1), Häggström(6.3.2) och Sigfridsson (6.3.3) framträder en förvisso inte helt tydlig bild, men ändå en där teckengraden i webbdagstidningar beräknas öka. Vare sig den gör det eller inte,går att konstateras att konsensus lär råda över tid: Precis som den tryckta dagstidningensbrödtext har en standard, växer ur relationen mellan producent och användare, enstandard fram även för design av text på Internet. Vi ser idag extremer åt alla håll, textkan se ur precis hur som helst. Men dessa extremer skapar ändå en medelkurva, enuniversell design, som tar brödtextens utveckling framåt. För att fånga den här kollektivtskapade utvecklingen, gynnas uppsatsen av att se problemområdet ur tre aspekter.Genom en kvantitativ studie av alla (125) svenska dagstidningar på Internet skapadesett forskningsintroducerande material, som ger en övergripande bild av teckengradeni brödtext i dagstidningar på Internet. För att närma sig frågeställningen,När det kommer till teckengrad, radavstånd och spaltbredd, hur ser brödtexten ut isamtliga svenska dagstidningar på Internet? Vilka faktorer, med fokus på teckengrad,kan underlätta läsbarheten?, stödjs den kvantitativa undersökningen med professionsintervjuer med representanter från mediebranschen, samt en webbenkät som ger indicier av läsvanor och läsupplevelse bland dagstidningsläsare. Med hjälp av den insamladedatan söker därmed denna uppsats besvara frågor kring hur teckengraden ser ut idag, men också om det är ett problem och i så fall hur webbdesignen på den här punktenbör utvecklas, mot det slutgiltiga syftet att förändra och förbättra den digitaladagstidningen som produkt.Sverige har en av världens högsta andel tidningsläsare per capita (World presstrends 2014) och ligger ofta i framkant när det kommer till webbdesign för dagstidningar.Dagstidningen på Internet är nu i ett vägskäl och en överblick över hur det serut i dag bör vara av största intresse.Media company put almost all of their financials on online products and the printednewspaper is almost gone thanks to rationalized thinking (Svenska mediehus 2014/152015). In todays media climate there is more opportunities in online journalism andwhen it comes to design, you will find a lot of conditions that are both similar and differentfrom printed journalism. One of the similarities is the adaption to ads, ratherthan to readers and to journalism (6.3.1:5; 6.3.3:5).One of the differences is the layout and when it comes to print, your can lay the bodytext in two or many columns, but the standard online is to lay it in one. This creates,rather than a horizontal, a strictly vertical reading and a (potentially) infinite column.3Although the exceptions exist, focus in online journalism is on the one column andaspects as font, whitespace and image take part. This essay will focus though on afourth and as important aspect: type size.Since long there is a standard for printed newspaper, while online there is anotherset of approaches. Ads and old times low-resolution screens gave birth to a web designwhere design elements where perceived as small. More and more evidence showsthat body text will get larger. If you follow the model set by Information Architectsyou can easily calculate which font size to use online, if you want it to equal the experienceof reading a printed body text (Information Architects 2006). If you follow thismodel to get the digital text match the printed, the font size will naturally get bigger,among other things, because we read it from a bigger distance. If you apply theoriesof typography and readability from among others typographers as Hallberg (1992)and Hellmark (2005), and designers as Peetre (6.3.1), Häggström (6.3.2) and Sigfridsson(6.3.3), a depiction, if not wholly solid but still, will appear that will indicate anincrease in font size.With a quantitative study of all (125) Swedish newspapers on the Internet, a researchintroductory material takes shape, which gives an overview on the state of typesize in body text in newspapers on the Internet. To lead up to the research problem,When it comes to type size, line spacing and column width, how is the body text designed in Swedish newspapers on the Internet? What are the aspects, focusing on typesize, that facilitates readability?, the quantitative study is supported by interviewswith representatives from the industry and a web survey which gives circumstantial ofreading habits and reading experience among readers of newspapers. With this data,this essay strive to answer questions about how the type size appears today but also ifthere is a problem and how, on this particular aspect, web design should develop.Sweden is among the best in the world when it comes to readers of newspapersper capita (World press trends 2014). Right now web design in newspapers is at crossroads and an overview of the situation should be of great interest.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the readability of news articles published in the Swedish national newspaper Dagens Nyheter during the years 1999 - 2013. Our hypothesis was that the written language in newspapers is simpler today than it was 15 years ago. To measure the possible change of the written language in a quantitative study we chose to use a method to calculate the readability of 30 news articles, two from each year. We could not see any development of the language level so we chose to do a complementary qualitative study of the layout and presentation of the news articles. This secondary study showed a significant change in how news is presented throughout the years. The articles from 2003 and forth were presented with more space and more pictures and photos than the articles in our sample published before 2003. We used different theories to support the cause of our study and to analyse and make conclusions from the results. We used the social responsibility theory to support our hypothesis and prove why this problem is relevant and worth studying. The other theories we used to analyse the articles and make conclusions to answer our questions were the framing theory and theories about informational texts, like news articles, and news values.

Full textAbstract:
Міжнародний типографський стиль, також відомий як швейцарський стиль, розроблений у Швейцарії в 1950-х роках, який підкреслює чистоту, читабельність та об’єктивність. Відмітними ознаками стилю є асиметричні макети, використання сітки, шрифтів без засічок та вирівнювання тексту по лівому краю. Стиль також пов'язаний з перевагою фотографії замість ілюстрацій або малюнків. Цей стиль у мистецтві, архітектурі та культурі став «міжнародним» стилем після 1950-х років, і його використовували художники з усього світу. Доповідь присвячено розкриттю основних аспектів швейцарського стилю.The international typographic style, also known as the Swiss style, was developed in Switzerland in the 1950s, emphasizing purity, readability and objectivity. Distinctive features of the style are asymmetrical layouts, the use of a grid, serif fonts and text alignment on the left edge. Style is also associated with the preference of photography over illustrations or drawings. This style became an "international" style in art, architecture and culture after the 1950s, and was used by artists from all over the world. The report reveals the main aspects of the Swiss style.

Full textAbstract:
The aim was to explore how the first page of a student newspaper has been changed over time since it was founded in the 1960´s. This thesis explores how the front page of the student newspaper Lösnummer has been changed since it was founded in 1966. It concerns the location and frequency of elements and it is based on theories of layout, the first page and visual communication In addition, the thesis develops a new kind of method for determining the location of elements on the type area. The method is based on the hexadecimal number system. It is formed as a grid which is placed on the first page to determine the location of the elements. It concludes that the frequency of elements had its peak during the 1970´s and has ever since decreased gradually. Image placement has gone from being scattered all over the front page to be centered and increase in size.Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur en studenttidning har förändrats sedan den grundades på 1960-talet. Denna avhandling undersöker hur framsidan av studenttidningen Lösnummer har förändrats sedan den grundades 1966. Den behandlar placering och frekvens av element och är baserad på teorier om layout, första sidan och visuell kommunikation. Avhandlingen utvecklar en ny typ av metod för fastställande av placeringen av elementen på förstasidan. Metoden bygger på det hexadecimala talsystemet då ett rutnät placeras på första sidan för att bestämma placeringen av elementen. Slutsatsen av undersökningen visare att frekvensen av elementen hade sin höjdpunkt under 1970-talet och har sedan minskat successivt. Bildernas placering har gått från att vara utspridda över hela framsidan till vara centreras och öka i storlek.

Full textAbstract:
En deskriptiv visuell innehållsanalys genomfördes med en korpus bestående av vetenskapliga artiklar från 30 topprankade tidskrifter jämnt fördelade på de tre disciplinerna matematik, medicin och utbildningsvetenskap, med syfte att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan tidskrifternas disciplintillhörighet och den grafiska formgivningen. Kartläggningen omfattade layout (bl.a. sidformat, spalter, marginalstorlek, användning av grafiska element, placering av tabeller, figurer och pagina) och typografiskt utseende hos titel, rubriker, brödtext och abstrakt (t.ex. teckenstorlek, textjustering, teckengrovlek, typsnitt, färg och radavstånd). Resultaten visar att disciplinerna använde olika men även gemensamma konventioner i sitt grafiska utseende. Matematik uppvisade enkelspaltig layout med liten typografisk variation, genomgående användning av typsnitt från familjen Transitional eller Transitional/Didone för hela dokumentet, avsaknad av kulört färg och sällan användning av grafiska element. Medicin uppvisade större variation med användning av kulört färg, icke-centrerad typografi med både sansseriff- och seriff-typsnitt, grafiska element och ramar som förstärker det ofta använda dubbelspaltiga gridsystemet. Utbildningsvetenskap uppvisade en grafisk design som återfanns i båda disciplinerna, men påminde mest om matematik till utseendet. Kodbok ingår i sin helhet som bilaga. Uppsatsen i sig är delvis formgiven med utgångspunkt i de erhållna resultaten.A descriptive visual content analysis was conducted on research articles from 30 academic journals with highest impact factor equally distributed between Mathematics, Medicine and Education research, to examine whether a correlation could be established between academic discipline and graphic design conventions used. The survey included layout aspects (e.g. size of pages and margins, text columns, use of graphic elements, placement of tables, visuals and page numbers) and typographical appearance of title, sub-headings, body copy and abstract (e.g. character height, weight, alignment, typeface, use of colour and inter-line distance). The results show that the disciplines used different but also shared some common graphic design conventions. In Mathematics often a single-column layout was used, with a small typographic variation, using a single Transitional or Transitional/Didone typeface for the entire document, not using any colour and seldom using any graphical elements. Medicine showed greater variation, using colour, non-centered typography combing sans-serif and serif typefaces, graphical elements and frames emphasising the often used double-column grid system. Education research shared appearance common for both disciplines, leaning mostly towards Mathematics. This thesis is in its entirety written in Swedish and is typeset partially in accordance with the findings from this survey. Code book is included.

As a graphic designer, my goal is to clearly express my clients' message to their intended audience. Based on the diversity of my clients and their products and services, finding a consistent style in my projects might be difficult, although there are usually some typical traits. With examples of my work and dialogue from leaders in the graphic design industry, I intend to point out a common thread that runs through all successful design projects, regardless of the projects' designer, era, or individual design elements (e.g., typography, copywriting, color, layout, imagery). Success comes from graphic design's ability to gain attention and encourage a response.

Full textAbstract:
A daily newspaper’s main purpose is to inform its readers without creating noise. Theimportance of the visual presentation is therefore of weight for an effectivecommunication process. This study informs about the importance of typography inthe visual decoding process. The study includes the Swedish newspaper DagensNyheter’s transition from printed media to digital media adapted to an Ipad. It alsoincludes what changes this transition has resulted in for the communication process. The study has been conducted through a qualitative content analysis, where acomparative process of the selected medias has occurred. The theories we have beenusing in the study were mainly from a typographic point of view focusing onreadability. Other than that we have made use of theories about visual communicationand theories of the digital media's impact on society. Our study shows that the transition from printed newspaper to digital newspaperadapted to an Ipad has taken typographical aspects into consideration whenpresenting the material. The convergence between printed media and digitalizedmedia has created a basis for interaction that makes the reader involved in theprocess. The former one-way communication has been replaced with a moreinteractive two-way communication where the user is more than just a receiver.

Full textAbstract:
Det finns studier som anger rekommendationer för att designa en väl utformad restaurangmeny. Syftet med rapporten är att undersöka om pizzeriapersonal och formgivare designar digitala pizzamenyer genom medvetna val utifrån de designprinciper och designrekommendationer som finns. Undersökningen är ett kvalitativt forskningsarbete där kartläggning har använts som strategi. Datainsamlingsmetoderna som har använts är litteratursökning, visuell innehållsanalys, gruppintervjuer och semistrukturerade intervjuer för att kunna besvara frågeställningarna. Resultaten från undersökningen påvisar bland annat att pizzeriapersonalen anser att deras menydesign inte överensstämmer med varumärket. Personalen och kunderna har även olika uppfattningar om vad varumärkena står för. Trots att pizzeriornas varumärke inte stämmer överens med designen uppfyller menyerna kundernas förväntan. Slutsatserna visar bland annat att det finns gemensamma och särskiljande grafiska element. De flesta lågprispizzerior har inte ett genomtänkt varumärke samt att det inte finns en medvetenhet angående de designprinciper och designrekommendationerna hos pizzeriapersonal eller formgivare.For the creation of restaurant menus there are studies that show which recommendations you should use to achieve a well-designed menu. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether pizzeria personnel and designers create digital pizza menus consciously from the design recommendations that exists. This study is a qualitative research work and we have used a survey as strategy. Data collection methods that have been used to answer the study questions are literature search, a visual content analysis, group interviews and semi-structured interviews. One result from the interviews showed that the pizzeria personnel thinks that their menu design does not match their brand. The pizzeria personnel and customers have different perceptions about what the brand stands for. The group interviews show that the digital menus live up to customers expectation and their experience of the low-price pizza. The conclusions show that there are common and distinctive graphical elements. Most low-price pizzerias do not have a well thought out branding, although the pizzeria personnel and designers do not have consciousness regarding the design principles and recommendations.

In this thesis I'm trying to examine the meaning potential of visual elements and layout in a Swedish newspaper front page and the same newspaper's website's start page, drawing on theories about multimodality and social semiotics developed mainly by Theo van Leeuwen and Gunther Kress. The study is focusing on Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and the website aftonbladet.se and compares these three different days. In this thesis I also try to examine what the newspaper communicate about its identity through the different visual components. My conclusion is that visual elements and layout have a great importance regarding what a newspaper communicate about how the news articles should be read, but what can be said about a company's identity mostly depend on the genre the newspaper belongs to and how well the reader knows that particular genre.

Full textAbstract:
Typografi finns överallt. Det är en del av grafisk formgivning som är ramverket som vi på olika plattformar i media och i stadsbilden blir tilltalade och därigenom förstår omvärlden. Typografi påverkar i stor utsträckning hur vi tolkar ett innehåll och hur vi värderar allt från människor till åsikter. I mitt examensarbete "Typografisk makt" undersöker jag relationen mellan samhällets värderingar och typografi. Varför tar vi vissa typsnitt på allvar och andra ses som oseriösa? Jag har skrivit en essä och presenterar texten i två publikationer där jag med formgivningen vill kommentera olika sätt att förhålla sig till idéer om hur typografi bör fungera och se ut. I essän tar jag upp historiska aspekter som påverkat hur typografi värderas. Jag försöker även bena ut vilken roll egenskaper kopplade till kön har för roll i hur typografi värderas.Typography is everywhere. It speaks to us and makes us understand the world. Why do we regard some typefaces as serious/professional and some as less serious? My project is an investigation of the relation between the values of society and typography.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has explored how to create a board game rulebook, for the board game Curators, in order to facilitate learning the rules as well as reminding players of the rules. This was done via research through design. The design of a rulebook incorporates many parts of design theory, from layout and typography to the use of color, gestalt principles, and images. All these were combined with knowledge about how existing rulebooks convey rules and the way board gamers use rulebooks, gained through the pre-study, in order to create a rulebook for the coming board game Curators. The analysis of this study shows that the resulting rulebook was successful in both teaching the game and helping players look up rules, though improvements could still be made to make it better. It was concluded that the use of many iterations of designing and testing is ideal for creating a rulebook with as few issues as possible.

Full textAbstract:
Idag använder allt fler människor sina smartphones för att surfa och använda tjänster online. Detta innebär att en stor del text läses på små skärmar. Detta arbete handlar om hur text bäst utformas och struktureras för att enklast kunna läsas och uppfattas på en mobilskärm. Faktorer som berörs är typgrad, ljusrum, textlängd, teckensnittsklass, radlängd, bild i text och kontrastverkan. Arbetet utgår från en normativ, svensk person utan funktionsnedsättningar. Arbetet är grundat på litteratur, egna analyser, intervjuer med branschfolk, enkätundersökning och test med fokusgrupp. Resultatet blev att en text på smartphone bäst utformas med flera styckesindelningar i form av blankrader, med bilder där bilden tillför något i informativt syfte och textlängd baserat på ämneskategori. Bilden bör sättas ovanför brödtexten. Längre texter ska sättas med scrollfunktion. Kontrast har stor betydelse på mobiltelefoner, texter går bra att läsa även när de är satta negativt. Teckensnittsklass är enligt resultatet av denna rapport inte av betydelse. Både seriff och sanserif kan läsas utan problem på smartphones. Typgraden bör förstoras något i förhållande till telefonens default-inställningar. På grund av att text på skärm inte stödjer avstavningar rekommenderas korta ord där det är möjligt för att förhindra en allt för hackig högerkant.This research focuses on the issue of how to best structure text on a Smartphone screen. The factors involved in this research are text size, white space, text and line lengths, serif and sans serif fonts, pictures in text and contrast. The methodology of our research is based on a normative Swedish able-bodied person, as well as on relevant literature, personal analyses, interviews with people in the trade, an online survey, and a test performed with a focus group. The results are that a text written for Smartphones is best structured with: several paragraph divisions made with blank lines, with pictures where the picture has an informational purpose, and text length based on category of subject. The picture should be placed above the body text. Longer texts should be set with a scroll-function. Contrast is of great importance on mobile phones as texts can be read properly even when set in negative. In addition, using serif or sans serif is of no importance. According to the results both serif and sans serif can be read without difficulties on a Smartphone. Text size should be slightly enlarged in relation to the default settings on the mobile device. Since word division is not supported on screen, short words are recommended when possible to prevent a highly uneven right end.

NoWe present a framework for the describing the genres of illustrated documents, based on analysis at five levels: content structure, rhetorical structure, layout structure, navigation structure, and linguistic structure. We also include three sources of constraints under which a document might be produced and interpreted: canvas constraints, production constraints, and consumption constraints. Document genres are conceptualised as complex specifications composed of descriptions at each of the five levels that conform in characteristic ways to the three kinds of constraint. We propose that the eight parameters together form a 'space' of possible identities for documents, electronic or paper. The notion of 'genre space' captures the fact that it is possible for new genres to develop at different positions in the space, as well enabling relationships between document types, or even transformations between them, to be examined and described.

The research is sampling by the headline of Economic Daily News in 2007, it aimed at the title to fit in with sample standard, and then to sort out good news and bad news based on expected returns, the effect on newspaper layout design and eye movements to design the attention score form. It scored by the different elements, such as space、colors and position dimensions, and also use the variable of attention、industry、company scale to analyze Economic Daily News whether affect the difference abnormal returns with stock price. The results as follows：Investors will have higher attention to electronic stocks than other common stocks, to look at the attention, if the large news report space have high attention, the abnormal returns response also have significance and continuance with low attention of small news report space. To add company scale to investigate, we can see the samples of large company scale, investors will have higher attention than the small company scale, however, page layout it seems that will have significance to affect the attention of investors：higher attention of news event will significance than the lower attention of news event. Therefore, maybe we can inference：when investors read the news, it will bear on visual affect of layout by the editor, and have priority to read the page layout with attractive report rather than small page layout、non-attractive reports.

It has been recognized that typography and layout would affect how readers receive and comprehend the content of an article, and thus may change reading patterns in both behavioral and optical aspects. With the extensively increasing use of digital communication worldwide, preferred choices of digital content and its layout inevitably enter the focus of interest of research and industries. Different forms of design might have an effect on reading patterns and readers’ preferences for content and thereby affect the published message. Former studies on printed matter have already shown the influence of various layout factors on reading patterns. This study aims at exploring whether the participants’ reading speed and the course of the eye movement will be influenced by three basic typographic variables: font type, line spacing, and text orientation. The study was conducted in a controlled environment with 41 students of the College of Journalism and Communication, Chinese Culture University. Subjects were exposed to an experimental setting with eye-tracking apparatus and asked to read articles written in Chinese characters on a back-lit e-book within a fixed period of time. There were two groups of students reading 6 articles each, sorted according to the experimental goal of finding reactions to font type, line spacing, and text orientation. By applying the method of eye-tracking, it has been examined how different forms of layout and typography influence the reader’s perception and reading mode. (1) It could be confirmed that font type, line spacing, and text orientation do affect the eye-movements. It was found that during the same fixed reading time, the identical amount of content induced different reading patterns: clear typo was read quicker than calligraphy style, due to shorter pauses on words; and vertically arranged text was read quicker than horizontally arranged for the same reason. Text with 3.0 line spacing was read quicker than text without spacing. (2) Repeated gazes on words were more frequent in text with characters of rough typo than smooth one, and more often on horizontally organized than on vertical text; as well as on words with a spacing of 1.5 than on words without spacing. Horizontal text of 1.5 spacing was more often gazed at than vertical text without spacing, while eye jumps were more evenly distributed when reading horizontal text, and eye jumps were more evenly distributed in text of 1.5 spacing than in text without spacing. (3) Pauses were more evenly distributed on rough typo, clear typo, and mixtures of both than on calligraphy style, and in the aforementioned order. Gazes were more evenly distributed in vertical text than in horizontal, eye jumps were more frequent on horizontal text than on vertical. The experiment’s results on the use of typography and spacing demonstrate that during a fixed reading time, reading of the same content induces more eye movements on horizontally arranged text than on vertically arranged, but more research needs to be conducted for investigating the reasons.

Newspaper, one of five major media, influences the public’s ideology, code of conduct and values. Newspaper plays a pivotal role in our life. When did newspaper emerge in Taiwan and how is it compiled? The study focuses on the newspaper during Japanese colonial period. The progress of newspaper made could be known base on the journalism history and editing. In the wake of having all samples skim, observe, photocopy and photograph, the format and features of newspaper during Japanese colonial period are induced. This study indicates: all of printing facilities, technology, editing skills, operation principles were introduced from Japan. Newspaper was innovated continuingly due to the inheritance of Japanese skill and principles as well as the Western up-to-date editing notions and skills. That’s the reason why the diversity was shown on newspaper during Japanese colonial period. The format and feature of newspaper during Japanese colonial is as follow: a. Two parallel frameworks were placed in each newspaper. Each framework is a single page. The framework comes in 3 styles: single-line, double-line and tri-line. b. The arrangement of columns placed straight from top to bottom appeared in most of newspapers. However, the arrangement of columns placed from right to left was seen on few of them. c. Columns were divided by finely horizontal lines. The number of column and row is increasing by time. The number of rows is in direct proportion with the framework width; the number of words in each row is in inverse proportion with font size. The column height and font size of Chinese version were higher and larger than those of Japanese version. d. The column variation, which featured the newspaper editing, plays an important role in the history of Taiwan newspaper editing skills. The variation rules are as follow: Headlines exceeded the column height; and then were followed by contents. Rule variations were engendered from content editing. Finally, it came to the adjustment of column-height. A wealth of formats emerged from the column editing. e. Classified index, article titles and topics were replaced by large and small headlines in the structure and content of newspaper. f. Flags in each newspaper were shown in calligraphy and content shown in Ming-tin. Most of classified index appeared in Li-shu; few headlines and picture illustrations appeared in boldface. As for the content, font size was minimized from 3~3.5 mm to 2~2.2mm. g. Reminders came in 10 symbols:「●、○、◎、☉、▲、▼、△、▽、◆、◇」. The following 7 symbols :「●、○、◎、▲、△、、、。」were used in highlighting. Those mentioned above were utilized for the classification of newspaper content.

ABSTRACT
A documentation and analysis of the impact of new technologies on the design and layout of The Star, particularly desktop publishing hardware and software, digital photography and the Internet. A broad outline of the production and editorial technology employed prior to the introduction of fourth wave in 1995 is provided to contextualise the research. A systematic visual analysis of selected pages from the 1920s to present as well as interviews with key members of staff from The Star, who have experienced the evolution of the paper first-hand, provide the primary source of information for the study.
To prevent the paper from becoming too anecdotal, the organisational approach to the study of the media and theory of visual culture provide the theoretical framework. The research concludes that new technology itself has not drastically affected the design and layout of The Star over the past decade, but rather stimulated change within the organisational environment, which gradually did affected the visual appearance of the paper.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Design e Multimédia apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e TecnologiaAtualmente existe um aumento na utilização de abordagens algorítmicas no domínio do Design Gráfico. Todavia, elas ainda têm pouca repercussão no contexto do Design Editorial, especialmente na geração de layouts de publicações impressas.Nesta dissertação é apresentado um sistema computacional que automaticamente gera diferentes possibilidade de layout, a partir do mesmo conteúdo. Este sistema foi desenvolvido utilizando as funcionalidades de scripting do Adobe InDesign. O sistema gera resultados baseado num conjunto de regras recolhidas de literatura reconhecida na área da Tipografia e Design Editorial. Resumidamente, o sistema funciona da seguinte forma. Inicialmente o utilizador define os conteúdos (texto e/ou imagens). De seguida, o utilizador pode (ou não) definir algumas propriedades da composição. Por fim, o sistema gera a publicação. O processo de geração começa com a análise do conteúdo, com o objetivo de definir aspetos da macro e microtipografia. Em seguida são definidas as propriedades visuais do documento (tais como as margens, ou os estilos de parágrafo e caracter). No fim, o conteúdo é composto na página e o resultado apresentado ao utilizador. O resultado é final é um ficheiro editável (InDesign). Isso permite ao utilizador realizar as alterações que achar necessárias à composição. Além disso, após uma geração é possível guardar um ficheiro com as propriedades e regras do resultado. Este ficheiro pode ser, posteriormente, utilizado para gerar publicações visualmente coerentes, útil, por exemplo para gerar coleções. Assim, este sistema apresenta-se como uma ferramenta que pode auxiliar o processo criativo dos designers gráficos, especialmente nas fases inicias e mais exploratórias dos projetos. Nesta dissertação também analisamos os resultados gerados pelo sistema em termos das suas propriedades macro e microtipográficas, bem como no que se refere à a sua diversidade e coerência.
Currently, there is an increase in the use of algorithmic approaches in the field of Graphic Design. However, they still have little repercussion in the context of Editorial Design, especially in the generation of printed publications layouts.This dissertation presents a computational system that automatically generates different layout possibilities from the same input content. The system was developed using Adobe InDesign scripting.The system generates results based on a set of rules collected from recognized literature in the field of Typography and Editorial Design. Briefly, the system works as follows. Initially, the user defines the contents (text and/or images). Then, the user can set some properties of the composition. Finally, the system generates the publication. The generation process begins with an analysis of the input content to define aspects of macro and microtypography. Then the document's visual properties, such as margins, or paragraph and character styles, are set. In the end, the content is composed on the page and the result presented to the user. The result is an editable file (InDesign). This allows the user to make any changes they deem necessary for the composition. Also, after each generation, it is possible to save a file with the properties and rules of the result. This file can be used later to generate visually coherent publications, which is useful for example to create collections.Thus, this system is presented as a tool that can help the creative process of graphic designers, especially in the early and more exploratory phases of projects. In this dissertation, we also analyze the results generated by the system in terms of its macro and microtypography properties, as well as its diversity and coherence.
