Starting my inside page.

Here is my inside page. I already had an image that I had taken and a story that I had written earlier on in the project. So I just included these into the layout of my inside page that I modeled on an inside page from the news.

The front page so far.

Over the holidays I attended a small gig at The Cellars, and watched a Rockabilly band called The Marvels. I took the opportunity to take some shots of them whilst they where performing and I have chosen one main image that i really like! I like the way in which the performers black shirt blends in to the back ground. It looks effective. I have removed the second performer from the background and replaced it with black so that I can place text over the top.

Here it is so far.

Inside page layout of newspapers

All these inside pages have a short story with an image beside them. These have all been located at the top of the page just bellow a banner that shows whats inside the newspaper. Below this shorter story is a much longer, more detailed story without an image accompanying it, there is simply just a headline, to go along with the story. I am going to use the short traffic story that I wrote at an earlier stage as the top story on this inside page.

Monday 5th December 2011

I feel today was very successful as I was finally able to decide on the font of the newspaper title with the help of the other students in my class. I really value their opinions as it helps me to progress in my project. Heres the Newspaper front cover so far. Next I will need to include my main image and side images.

The Results.

The results of the survey showed me that four out of 12 people in the class preferred the original font, 'Hoefler text' and lower case lettering. However the font with the highest vote was 'Perpetua Titling MT' with six people in the class voting for it. Here are all the results.

Problem

Today whilst working on my front cover I decided that the title doesn't look right in lower case lettering, as the 'y' in daily hangs down outside the margin that it is supposed to be in. Unfortunately I do not like the way this looks so I am going to send a survey around the class to find out whether people like it or whether they preferred another option.
