Our subject was to create a system using newspaper cut-outs which would somehow show us a definitive form of systems in newspapers. We decided as a group to carve ut all the parts of the front page of a newspaper each that had any form of information on it, i.e. headlines, body of text, nameplates and images etc.
We were confident this idea would bring up a good graphical representation of a system and demonstrate the relationship that newspapers commonly share in their own respective and systematic forms.
We collected all the cut-out frames and placed them on top of each other. This created a very interesting piece that formulated a connection between each frame. It almost seemed there is an inter-dependant attachment between them that has been created to visualise a very logical, but complicated order.
From this outcome, it became clear that the design of the system of all newspaper layouts are very structured and comparable, hence the similarity between the five newspaper frames in our final piece.
What we can determine from this exercise is that there is a system that works within all newspaper front pages that make them all complementary of each other. The grid system and choice of placement is very similar, despite the fact that their information and agendas may be of totally different conceptions.
