(c) NoViS/BrC
------------------------------------------
My dear reader, spectrumist, in
after all, I'm very glad that you are now
you are reading this article. Perhaps you are the author
the coolest, as you think,
electronic newspaper or stunning
magazine - then this article is a must
must be read to the end by you.
And if you are just going to starta
publish your first electronic gasetu
or a magazine - then especially not speshi
press the key "E", and haoborot
carefully read and understand this little
in size, but considerable in importance
article. Also I'm sure the following
will be of interest to the general public
ordinary readers.
Here I amI'll try based on
exclusively on my own, it seems to me,
considerable experience in aircraft construction, and
simply, like a person who has read more than one
megabyte of electronic reading, tell
to you, dear spektrumist, what distinguishes
good press from the press "yellow", which
there have become so many on our stage.
So, what is a good press?!
I think to explain this, it will belnot
it is enough to simply list the main onesovny
rules to follow when
creation of an electronic publication.
So...
1. Quality materials.
This is the most important thing in a good newspaper,
after all, in essence, any newspaper or
a magazine is, first of all, material, and
then everything else. What is it -
quality material? Of course, write
A good article is very difficult, but possible.
Bo firstly, anythe article must be written
only when there is a desire it
write. When this is done through force, then
nothing good comes from this obviously
It will work out, perhaps, if you are a geniusflaxth
journalist, but this happens extremely
rarely. Bo secondly is the choice of theme for
articles. You always need to know who
your article has been calculated, will it be
interesting to the reader. Must choose
topics focused on the specifics of the publication
and try to write as little as possible
articles abstracted from this specificity.
Why write in a publication for spektrumists o
how to work well at PC? It's almost
the same as writing in playboyabout
dangers of sexual intercourse :) . The most
interesting articles in Spectrumkthem
publications are news of all kinds
near-scene reviews (software and variousnsevents), articles on coding and climbing.
Ho does not need to fill zine, for example,
just reviews or articles on coding.
It might turn out to be interesting
only to a narrow circle of people, but it is necessary
take into account the interests of as many people as possible
potential readers.
The press should be positive, therefore
all sorts of showdowns and so-called
"depressive" articles on pages
newspapers should be kept to a minimum, or better yet
exclude altogether. Should also be avoided
foul language and drug propaganda and
alcohol - I think this is understandablebwithout
any explanations. It is necessarykak
you can more competently explain your thoughtsland,
so that they are understandable to the mainmasse
readers. You need to respect the reader
try not to humiliate him in any way
dignity. And, of course, it is necessary
remember about grammar, because literacy
Competence can be judged in many waysauthor.
You need to understand one simple thing,
that the press is published for the purpose of conveying
information, not to amuse
your sick pride or somehow kill
time to create the next "yellow
leaf."
2. Convenient shell
This is the second most important point in goodweat
publication. The shell must be maxalno
convenient. It is necessary to provide
the ability to manage all possible
ways: sinclair joystick, kempston
joystik, keyboard (qaop), cursor, and if
an arrow interface is used, then
mouse (for the mouse it is necessary to provide
possibility of changing control buttons).
The page speed should be optimal
but there doesn't have to be a frame.
Don't forget about name compatibility
, because the main thing is caring about the reader! And,
if the frame is obtained by reducing the font, then
the frame should be abandoned. Don't spoil it
vision of an innocent personspectrumisty.
The presence of graphics in the text is largely increasedsit
attractiveness of the publication and understandingnie
articles. A good leaflet also dolzha
contain built-in help, having read
which, any reader (even one who
sees the computer for the first time) was able to understand how
manage the shell. There should also be
possibility to turn off music and change it,
if there is more than one track, so that the reader does not leave
crazy. Well, it would be nice to provide
possibility to turn off color - this would be
By the way, for owners of black and white or
monochrome monitors.
3. Nice design
Graphic design can comeat
The publication has a unique charm. Therefore and
the design of the shell needs to be given special attentionalo
time. Ideally, the design dolo
emphasize the main theme of the issue (if
there is one) or just call
interest, containing a certain mystery.
The quality of the design can be judged
level of publication, o professionalism
authors. Authors A good publication never
will not allow themselves to have their shell
designed at a low level. Shell
must be framed on one side
beautiful, but on the other hand so that
graphics do not interfere with reading the text, so that
did not shade it, but only accompanied it
the main goal of any electronic presss -
transmitting information to the reader.
Music, although not the main point, isoon
is also capable of giving appropriatecomfortethe mood of the reader when reading the newspaper.
It must be selected so as not to
disrupt the general harmony of the publication. Music
should be moderately fast and noisy.
Rather, she should be calm and
pacifying, so as not to cause
irritation when reading. Shouldn't be
too sudden changes in volume.
Also the tracks should not be too
short and loopy, so as not to
make the reader bored.
In principle, these are all the main pointsts,
following which you can doa
good press. Dare, create - and
you will succeed.
May your publication be the best!
