Design Principles, Hierarchy, Newspaper

In this exercise we looked at newspapers and the hierarchy of type used. We had to cut out what we saw first and go down to the last thing we looked at. A lot of the time we fell into the tricks of the editor, like looking at the images, then deciding with we would read the article or  not.

                  

For this task we had to look at a newspaper article and straight away cut out what we saw first, second, third and so on till there was none left. This was an experiment to see if we fell into the editors tricks of seeing the things they want you to see first. I think most people fell into the traps because of the way it is layed out, what is next to what. Its all about how your eye reads, which is actually right to left rather than left to right. 

These are the way the newspaper was at the start and the final image of how I saw the type first and last. This task is difficult to get used to but helps me see how editors use layout and type to move the readers eye around the page.
