Title - Fonts

After creating a questionnaire I decided to go with the name Tyne News, because I had now chose the name I could move onto the next step which would be picking the font. When picking the font I wanted something which was bold, so when I changed the colour of the text it would still stand out against the background. I also wanted something which would follow with the usual conventions of a newspaper title font, this means it will have to look like slight handwriting.

Radio Advert Progress 2 - Song Choice

Before I could begin writing the script for my radio advert, I wanted to pick my song choice first so I could base what was going to be said around the tempo of the music.

I have a list of songs which I could use for my radio advert:

Radio Advert Progress 1 - Research

In order to create a radio advert for my newspaper I had to research and look into already existing radio adverts for newspapers, this would allow me to gain an idea of what I should include in my advert to ensure that I was creating something which people would pay attention to.

Although I could not find any official newspaper radio adverts on Youtube, I did come across some radio adverts for other products. When doing so, I discovered that nearly all had background music; this is to draw attention to your advert. My first step will be to pick a song to use as background music.

Front Cover Progress - Title

I will be changing the colour of my title based upon my colour scheme
after researching what colours are more attractive to those of a younger age I will be using the colour burgundy. I have also chosen this colour as I feel like the stereotypical colours for newspapers are blue and red, I want my newspaper to stand out more.

Front Cover Progress 8

When creating the dateline I noticed that I had used the incorrect font and did not think that it looked right on the page, this is when I went on to change the font to a new one which I also found of 1001fonts.com

I chose Saturday 21st May in particular because after research I discovered that Saturdays were the most beneficial day to sell newspapers on, this is near the end of the week so you can cover stories briefly from throughout the whole week, can also discuss football matches and other sporting activities which will be occurring that day or the following as weekend newspapers are well known for their sporting sections.

Front Cover Progress 7

Once I had selected the photo I wanted to use I had to ensure that everything was perfect and that it was looking exactly the way I wanted it to, to achieve this I opened up the image on Adobe Photoshop

I then began to crop it to the correct size, I did not want the people to be in the background.

and enhance the brightness and contrast on the image to ensure that it doesn't look out of proportion.
