Producing a Tabloid

Producing a Tabloid Newspaper in the 80’s Designing and laying out a newspaper in the 1980s was a labor-intensive process that required a combination of creativity, precision, and technical skill. The process typically involved several key steps: Planning: Before the actual design and layout process could begin, the newspaper’s editors (Mike Barron) would plan the content and organization of the paper. This involved deciding which stories would be featured on the front page, determining the prominence and placement of each article, and deciding on the overall layout and structure of the paper. Design: Once the planning was complete, the newspaper’s designers (again Mike Barron) would begin the process of creating the layout of the paper. This involved selecting fonts, deciding on column widths and spacing, and choosing the placement of photographs and graphics. The designers (yes Mike Barron) would also work on creating headlines and captions that were both informative and visually appealing. In that first year, all the stories had to be handwritten and then typed on a typewriter. If typo’s were found or changes had to be made, it meant either retyping the entire article, or typing small paragraphs and pasting them over the original type. It was labor intensive and involved a lot of yelling from the typists (Betty Carroll and Brenda Inocencio) who claimed I couldn’t write or spell worth a crap. They were right, I couldn’t. Paste-Up: In the 1980s, the layout of the newspaper was typically created using a process called “paste-up.” This involved creating a physical mock-up of each page of the newspaper, with text and images pasted onto a large board. The designers(yes Barron) would use a variety of tools, including X-Acto knives, rulers, and adhesive, to carefully position each element on the page. Believe it or not, in the beginning we had to use rub- 88 The Blues 40th Anniversary Issue
