Abstract

Newspapers have always been a medium to disseminate information and emerge as one of the most important communication tools in the world. Despite the rapid growth of technology, it is undeniable that newspapers still receive overwhelming support from the household media. The aim of this research is to study the layout of English newspapers in Sabah during the Jesselton era (1899 to 1967). There are four types of theories enclosed with the Gestalt Principle which are Similarity, Proximity, Continuance and Closure. These theories help to scrutinize every part of the Layout Design components, which are the Balancing Act, Visual Rhythm, Grid, Path Layout and Photography. Nowadays, archived newspapers are poor in visibility and durability as they have become obsolete, dusty, and easily torn. Prior to this, the researcher believes that this particular research will help to transcribe the old English newspapers into documentation, thus become more assessable when it is published into academic writings. In conclusion, it is hoped that the outcome of the study would be a fundamental guideline to those who need some reference on Jesselton and the newspapers printed in that era.
