Newspaper cover draft four

For this draft, I have made many changes on the base design such as altering the colour of the newspaper to a green, the title and the spacing of the title and a little "Film and Music" review section.
I have also made minor changes such as the name and location of the website on the cover, the application of my AS Coursework magazine as a 'free gift'.
I have started to fill in the stories. The column on the far right has been filled in with stories I think are relevant to the Salford area and my next task will be to write the headline story, which I have settled to write about my previous school's recent issue with payments.

Billboard idea

This is my first idea for a billboard after discovering my original intention was not the right kind of billboard. I think this billboard is very eyecatching and highlights the personality of the newspaper.

This is my second idea for a billboard. I have taken influence from a Guardian advert I saw and expanded on, but decided that it was too plain and boring and that I couldn't make it as simple yet interesting as the Guardian did, so I have chosen to use my first idea.

Newspaper double spread draft two

I have filled in text where I want it to be. I have also placed boxes for pictures and adverts and drawn a person for where I want the pictures and advert to go.

Newspaper cover draft three

I have made minor changes such as removing the advert from the top corner and replacing it with a free magazine give away. This is a fairly final layout for my newspaper, as I think it is good enough to achieve its goal of attracting its target audience(the target audience being student age to middle age). It achieves this by being simply structured, with well set out columns for the main story, with the side column showing little parts of the main stories in the different sections. The use of the large picture in the centre is to catch the eye of a passing potential customer, intriguing them to see what it is. The large picture will also show the focus of the front page headliner, with the smaller picture above the third column being related to the headline. This small picture will be of a person, so that the audience will have a face to put to a name in the story.

Newspaper cover draft one

This is the first draft of my newspaper's front cover. It shows the basic layout that I will use for the newspaper, which was also my first, general idea, although I remove and change things further along.
