Today, please use the time in the lab to put your magazine together. Choose what features will appear in what order. Make sure each of your five articles has a title and byline (see below). Your cover of your magazine should have an appropriate masthead and title. Make sure you create your table of contents as well. See requirements & vocabulary below.
To assist you, read the handout before you go too far.
Some layout vocabulary:
MASTHEAD: In American usage, a publication's masthead is a printed list, published in a fixed position in each edition, of its owners, departments, officers and address details, which in British English usage is known as imprint.
BANNER: The headline across or near the top of all or most of the newspaper per page.
BYLINE: Name of the reporter who wrote the story, placed atop the published article.
CUTLINE: Any descriptive or explanatory material under a photograph or picture.
FLAG: The printed title of a newspaper on the cover.
NEWS HOLE: The space in a paper allotted to the articles or non-advertising material. Journalists have to fill this hole with words. :)

You will be graded on your writing, layout-design, and creativity.
