Today in class we talked about how to write an article and its many formats, or at least tried to convey this. Lucky for me, I worked on a newspaper back in high school and i was a journalism major till i found the course work pointless. The book covers everything in light detail but points out that everything they say can't help you if the teacher picks a different format. But most of it just follows the MLA format and most of the time its hard to mess up the format on an article.
Now the layout of an article is important because it will be what draws in the readers. The size of the article is important because if its too long, no one will read. Then pictures are important because it shows emphasis. There is also the issue of color in your article because too much will put readers off while too little will not even catch the eye, and given colors will also show the readers what type of state of mind the write has.
