Frontpage briefs
Contents
|
This series of short news (briefs) is characterized by: •A (probably) fixed header ("Inside the news"), all caps, 20pt type, bold, probably in its own frame - or can be considered as a headline. •Apparently, two-deck headline for every news, 14pt type, bold. •A single paragraph for each news body with the location name in all caps, 9.5pt type, left aligned. •A jump line call - probably manually, same type size, but italic.
The most appropriate way to make up this part is to create a library object with two frames - one for briefs header and another frame for the briefs body. That make sense if the object appears often in this size / position. Moreover, it is recommended to create a format with a style library, containing three chained elements: •Headline style for each brief news •Body style for each brief news •Jump style (that chains to the headline style). |
