Development of 2 pages and final image
CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE FULL PICTURE.
This is the final outcome of the two inside pages of my newspaper. The first page is focused on the contents and making of the newspaper, detailing the editorial team and section meeting times. I featured the contents in a typical vertical layout, colour coding each subject. I wanted to colour code each item as when the paper is read people can either look for the page number they need or the colour, also making it more visually attractive. The page numbers featured by the contents are featured in red and black in keeping with the colour scheme of the newspaper. A different font is used for BIG STEPS on the initial page, which is placed in a red box out. The section meeting times and editorial team headings are placed in a gray box out, outlined by varying widths of black lines. I feel this looks effective as gray is an alternative colour to the ones used throughout. The text is in black so is easily readable and contrasts the gray background. All the features of these sections are in black with the subject and name being next to each other. An advertisement for a article in the newspaper is in a black dot, with alternative white and red text inside ensuring it stands out. The bottom right hand of the screen contains another black dot which features information about involving yourself with the newspaper.
The facing page begins to cover news stories. It focuses on 5 articles on the page, the top articles being focused on random subjects and editors pick. In keeping with the time my newspaper will be released there is a feature on what people are planning to do on Valentines Day. The other 3 articles focus on Southend College and University and would be of interest to students. The top articles are separated by the use of coloured text, whereas the news articles are featured in black text. Again dots have been used, in the separation of the articles. I felt this would be a good effect as it is a reoccurring theme and provides more visual attraction than lines. As it is a student newspaper aimed at the younger audience I wanted an element of fun to be present throughout my newspaper. All the pictures used are relevant to the articles, with the headline also giving the correct introductions to the articles.The lead story is seen by the biggest headline and the biggest picture.
