Y-08. Student Life Spread<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One spread predominantly featuring coverage of issues and activities representative of or affecting student life in the school or community. Student life topics might include homecoming, prom, current events, trends, work and other issues affecting the daily student experience. Coverage emphasizing sports, academics or organizations should be entered into the respective category. Chronological books should select a spread whose dominant story contains student life coverage. (Middle schools may enter a single page.) Submit a PDF or image file of the page(s). If any element of the entry was not produced by students (including images and\/or page design templates) please indicate that clearly on the entry form in the \u201cNon Student Work\/Copyright\u201d field. FOR SPREADS (a spread is two facing pages), if possible <\/strong>save your entry as a spread<\/a>, creating a single horizontal page out of two vertical pages. Otherwise, the judges may not see both pages of your spread together and will not get the full impact of your design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUDGING CRITERIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Designed as two-page visual unit, arrangement of photos, headline, copy, captions and white space invite reader onto spread and show careful planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Content concentrates on a variety of action photos that help tell the entire story; posed photos are avoided<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Center of interest in photo(s) is not trapped in gutter; action and faces in photos do not face off spread<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-rectangular photos, tilted photos and other special treatments are used sparingly and effectively to enhance overall design<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Copy and captions are a readable size and use a readable font<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Captions should touch photos to which they refer. Group or clustered captions are permitted, but attention has been paid to making them easily accessible to reader\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • While designs may be innovative, they adhere to journalistic guidelines<\/li>\n\n\n\n
