如何使一张手抄报在有限的空间内，既容纳一定的知识内容，版面设计又精彩美观呢？这不单纯是技巧问题，对编者来说，组稿、编辑、排版、插图、书写，这是一个全神贯注、脑手并用的创造过程，是他的文化修养、生活情趣、精神风貌和艺术修养的综合体现。这对一个学生来说，无疑是发展个性才能的广阔天地。

办手抄报，从总体上考虑，首先要确立主题思想。一期手抄报，版面很有限，要办出特色，必须在内容上突出一个主题，做到主题突出，又丰富多彩。版面编排和美化设计，也要围绕着主题，根据主题和文章内容决定形式的严肃与活泼，做到形式与内容的统一。

 手抄报的编排设计，总的要求是：主题明确，版面新颖美观。

版面划分

先把版面划分成两块，每块中还可以再分成片。划分文章块面时，要有横有竖，有大有小，有变化和有对称的美，也可绘画图案进行划分。报头要放在显著位置，最好是在左上或右上位置。

块面编排

如不符合原先的划分，就要将版面块面安排作必要的调整；如不能安排下文章，就利用移引、转版的形式等，并用字号、颜色、花边与邻近的文章块面相区别。

装饰设计

除报头按内容设计、绘制外，每篇文章的标题也要作总体考虑，按文章主次确定每篇文章标题的字体、字号、颜色及横、竖排位置。文章内容以横排为主，行距大于字距，篇与篇之间适应用些题花、插图、花边及尾花等穿插其中，起装饰、活泼片面的作用。

 主要是用色彩、绘图等艺术手段，弥补文字的单调，给人以生动形象、优美和谐的美感和启迪。内容包括报头、题花、插图、花边、尾花和色彩运用等。

1.报头

它是手抄报的标志，由图案或画面和刊名组成。文字上由报头名称、日期等组成。

2.题花

是对文章标题或开关的装饰，常见的有底纹，带有提示性的图画或图案。

3.插图

可以根据文章的内容，画一个能说明一个情节的画面，这种形式与文章内容紧密联系；还可以采用与文章内容毫无联系的图案，如花鸟、山水等，这是纯粹为了美化而作的。

4.花边

一般不宜太多、太大、太粗，否则就会喧宾夺主。花边可以美化版面，可以隔开文章，便于阅读。

5.尾花

是装饰在文章后面的图画或图案。如一篇文章抄完后，还剩有空白，可以画一朵花，既可充实版面，又可以增加美感。

6.色彩方面

一般宜简练、明快、淡雅，不宜过分渲染、杂乱。一般而言，正文色调宜朴素、稳重；标题及花边、插图等，则可用较鲜艳的色彩。这样才能浓淡适宜，增强效果。

It is a kind of newspaper which publishes news information in the form of handwritten newspaper with paper as the carrier in the development of journalism. It is the prototype of modern newspaper, also known as handwritten news. In the Tang Dynasty, there were handwritten newspapers copied by local officials stationed in Beijing. Historically, the "Mansion" is the oldest newspaper in the world, which is now in the Dunhuang Pavilion of the British Library and copied in the third year of the reign of Tang Dynasty's Emperor Hezong Guangqi.

In school, handwritten newspaper is a good form of activity in the second classroom, which has strong plasticity and freedom. Handwritten newspaper is also a mass propaganda tool. It's equivalent to a smaller version of Blackboard.

How to make a handwritten copy in a limited space, both containing certain knowledge content, layout design and beautiful? This is not simply a matter of skill. For the editor, it is a creative process of concentrating and using both hands and mind. It is a comprehensive reflection of his cultural accomplishment, life interest, spiritual outlook and artistic accomplishment. This is undoubtedly a vast field for a student to develop his personality.

In order to handle handwritten newspapers, we should first establish the theme of the newspaper. The first issue of handwritten newspaper has a limited page space. In order to have its own characteristics, it is necessary to highlight a theme in its content and make the theme prominent and colorful. Layout and beautification design should also focus on the theme, decide the seriousness and liveliness of the form according to the theme and the content of the article, and achieve the unity of form and content.

The General requirements of the layout design of handwritten newspapers are: clear theme, novel and beautiful layout.

Layout

Firstly, the layout is divided into two parts, each of which can be further divided into pieces. When dividing the block surface of an article, it should be horizontal and vertical, large and small, varied and symmetrical, and it can also be divided by drawing patterns. The header should be in a prominent position, preferably in the upper left or right position.

Block layout

If it does not conform to the original division, it is necessary to make necessary adjustments to the layout; if it is not possible to arrange the following articles, it is necessary to use the form of quotation and reprint, and to distinguish between the size, color, lace and the adjacent sections.

Decoration design

In addition to header design and drawing according to content, the title of each article should also be considered as a whole, and the font, font size, color, horizontal and vertical position of the title of each article should be determined according to the primary and secondary of the article. The content of the article is mainly arranged horizontally, and the line spacing is larger than the word spacing. The article and the article are interlaced with some questions, illustrations, laces and tails, which play a decorative, lively and one-sided role.

Mainly use color, drawing and other artistic means to make up for the monotony of the text, giving people a vivid image, beautiful and harmonious aesthetic feeling and enlightenment. The contents include headlines, inscriptions, illustrations, laces, tails and color application.

1. header

It is a sign of handwritten newspapers, consisting of patterns or pictures and titles. The text is composed of the header name, date and so on.

2. flowers

It is the decoration of the title or switch of an article. It is common to have a background and prompting picture or pattern.

3. illustration

According to the content of the article, we can draw a picture that can explain a plot. This form is closely related to the content of the article. We can also use patterns that have nothing to do with the content of the article, such as flowers, birds, mountains and rivers, which are purely for beautification.

4. lace

Usually not too much, too big, too rough, otherwise it will be noisy. Lace can beautify the layout, can separate articles, easy to read.

5. tail flowers

It's a picture or pattern that decorates the back of an article. If an article is copied, there is still a blank, you can draw a flower, which can not only enrich the layout, but also increase the aesthetic feeling.

6. Color

Generally speaking, it should be concise, lively and elegant, and should not be exaggerated or disorderly. Generally speaking, the tone of the text should be simple and steady, while the headlines and laces, illustrations, etc. can be used in bright colors. Only in this way can the shade be suitable and the effect be enhanced.
