Varsity Student Newspaper

The style of this newspaper, contrasting to The Epigram is, I feel, much more formal. The masthead - Varsity is featured in a different font to the whole of the front page, catching the readers eye. There is also an emblem to represent the newspaper, which is placed above Varsity. The mast head is placed in a gray box out, which is separated from the rest of the layout by thin black horizontal lines. Within the box out, pugs are featured, being the issue number, date and newspaper website. Also in the first third of the layout lures are used. The heading of each lure is in a contrasting color to the remainder of text on the page, making it stand out. This is where the page of each is also written. The text used to explain the lures is an alternate font to those used on the front cover. There are 3 lures, used to attract audiences with these interests. Arts, fashion and news interviews are what the headings say, showing the papers different sections, not just focused on news. Images are placed next to these sub headings, which hint at the content of the lures. The splash is introduced by the heading, which is in a black text. There is an eye catching image which takes up the second third of the page. It is an eye catching image but provokes ambiguity, slightly explained by the caption. The writer is credited at the start of the article is bold, but in small black text. The article is featured over 4 columns and unlike The Epigram, is separated from the secondary lead by a vertical line. The story is continued, the front cover giving the page number. The text for the lead story takes up the remaining third of the page. On the right hand side of the page the secondary lead is featured. A smaller headline is used to create interest for the article, however no caption is used. This article is the full article so does not need a page number to be continued. At the bottom of this article is another box out, this time in the purple color the lure text used. Within the box out is the title of another article and a bar code. The title is explanatory of the article, whilst the bar code shows the newspaper needs to be purchased, unlike The Epigram.
