排版 Typesetting

早期的《博藝》版面為舊報紙樣式，採用活字印刷術（即俗稱的「執字粒」），於校內印刷。第二十五輯（1993-1994）後改為校外印刷，之後更漸由黑白印刷改為雙色印刷。

 

因應讀者閱讀口味改變，《博藝》於第四十二輯（2010-2011）與時並進，版面不再沿用印刷公司舊有的樣版（template），學生自行負責排版設計。版面由過往以文字為主，漸趨圖文並茂，且改為彩色印刷。第四十四輯（2012-2013）起的封面改以雜誌形式面世。

 

現時《博藝》排版同學會學習使用Adobe Illustrator、Adobe Photoshop等軟件處理版面。有些同學略有小成，在讀大學時，利用自己的美學觸覺，為功課稍作排版，得到大學師生的稱許。

 

In its early days, Aloysians adopted the style of old newspapers and utilized letterpress printing, also known as "movable type," for printing within the school. Starting from Volume 25 (1993-94), the publication shifted to off-campus printing, gradually transitioning from black and white to dual-color printing.

 

To cater to changing reader preferences, Aloysians embraced advancements in the Volume 42 (2011-2012). The layout no longer relied on pre-existing templates from printing companies, and students took charge of typesetting. The layout transformed from predominantly text-based to a combination of text and images, moving towards full-color printing. Beginning with Volume 44 (2013-2014), the cover adopted a magazine-style format.

 

Currently, Aloysians typesetters utilize software such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop for layout design. Some proficient Aloysians typesetters, during their university studies, apply their aesthetic sensibilities to enhance their assignments with personalized layout designs, garnering praise from their professors and peers.
