Front Cover Progress 6

I took photos of the model for my front cover in front of Newcastle Crown Court in order to link my main image on the front cover with the story on the second page. Allowing the photos to be taken in that location will make the newspaper more appear more realistic

I felt like this angle would have been better for the second page, so I will not be using this image.

I felt like this image looked too staged, this is something which I did not want to happen, so I will not be using this image.

I think this will be the image which I use this image, I really like the way that Courtney is the main focus but you can also see her location easily.

This was another image I took, I liked the way this one was set out, but due to not being able to see my models face much I chose not to use it.

Newspaper Names

As all newspapers need to have a name, preferably linking to the area where they will be covering stories, so I have came up with a few ideas such as:

Tyne Meridonal
Daily Tyne
NE Observer
Tyne News
(Add more)

The next step once choosing my newspaper name will be to choose a font from 1001fonts.com

Advert Bar Progress

This is the process of making my advert bar.

Front Page Progress 5

I have now selected a font to use for my dateline which is called Caslon OS, this font is slightly similar to the one which is used on the Evening Chronicle which I am using as my style model.

 

After creating a questionnaire and researching how much I should charge for my newspaper, I came to the conclusion that I should charge my target audience and the general public 60p.

 

I have also now removed the competition section of my newspaper, I felt like it would not fit within the layout of the front cover; I have also already featured a competition within the sidebar.

I then decided to do this for the rest of my front cover, the blocks across the top are where my title and competition are going to be located. I have placed thin lines across the top and above where my adverts are going to be, these will be staying on my final front cover as these are on my style model too. Because I now have all the measurements and guidelines I can now begin to add my final pieces together.

So I can have a clearer idea of the size my advert needs to be, I have created a solid block so I can get the exact measurements for when I add it onto the front cover. This will allow me to get a better idea of where I need to situate other things, I can also see whether I have left enough space around my features because as seen on my style model, there is a border around the whole newspaper. And if I want mine to look as similar to my style model as possible I will have to replicate this.

I have now began to put on the measurements and guidelines for where I am going to be placing pictures, texts, adverts and my title onto my front cover.
