Headlines

One week during the semester, we focused on writing headlines, both for print and online publication. For our Headapalooza assignment, we were given a list of stories to read and create print and web headlines for. The web headlines were supposed to be six to ten words long, and we were given specifications for each print headline. For the headline below, the specifications were that it should be two columns wide, 24 points in size, and two lines deep, in the plain, Times New Roman typeface. The Headapalooza assignment taught us how to create two different types of headlines for the same story. Below is a screen shot of my headlines; you can click on the image to enlarge it.
