Planning- Newspaper

We started our planning by forcing on the main task, which was to create a front  cover and a inside page for the page. We firstly started off by creating an page full of ideas to give us a rough idea of what they should included. By creating an page full of bullets points and note help to link our findings and research to our own newspaper and show us an clear link to making our work realistic.

Planning for the Newspaper itself

Layout for Front cover

Once we got an basic understanding of what we would included in our newspaper, we started to link of layouts. We created four hand drawn design for first ideas for the cover of the newspaper, which was quick and easy to produce but also to get an first idea if what the cover would look like. We finally decide that we would build up on idea number three, which we quickly started to building on with our computer version, which then even give us an better understand of what it would look like.

Layout for page 2

We also did four hand drawn design ideas for our inside page also, which was just as quick and easy has the cover page. The second page didn't really need as much information on it, which meet there was more space free on the page for adverts and smaller stories. We decided to go with idea one as it was  similar to other newspaper layout out.

Front cover and page 2 layout on computer

Planning for both the cover and inside page as an computer version, although we had come up with our own layout idea's we decided to take the same front as most newspaper companies use, which is 'Times New Roman' and trying to keep the same amount of advert we had on each page. Although many newspaper companies had an similar colour scheme we decide to go with the two most popular colours from our survey. We thought which have an main story, we should have an main image to go with it that would grab the readers attention more then the headlines would.
