Today we discuss newspaper layout. For this exercise I picked my fave, The New York Times. In specific, I chose the Arts section. When comparing the section's print version to its online counterpart, I found that like the print version, the website also has a lead story accompanied by the lead art. What most captivated my attention, as it usually does when I read this paper, is the quality of the writing. In particular, provocative yet smooth-flowing when describing and reviewing films, Television shows, music, etc.
The colors, design and layout are well-suited for the story they accompanied, so they fulfill their purpose. There is use of video and slide shows on the website, as well as advertising of other sections. Unlike the printed version, the Arts section advertises only the movies, and/or events being featured. I also noticed that the stories get published first online, and later on the web. There is also a link to the International Herald Tribune, and an archive to the top videos.
