My final front cover.

I am so happy with this cover page. I feel that my stories are newsworthy and people would want to read into the stories. I am extremely pleased with how the main image looks as I had to play around with it slightly and i was worried that it wouldn't work on the page, however I think it looks affective and due to the fact that he is smiling it promotes the story as it makes it look light hearted therefore people will want to read it.

Nearly finished

All I need to do now to make sure that my front page is entirely finished is to add a website address at the top of the page, add a website name to the advertisement at the bottom of the page and finish the experience days advertisement to the right of the page.

UPDATED: Newspaper with second advertisement to the right.

I took and image using a borrowed professional camera of origami birds hanging on a relatives ceiling. I thought that they looked really artistic so i thought that they would look great in a photography shot. I am happy with the look of it.

UPDATED: newspaper with new advertisement to the right.

I am really happy about how my front cover is turning out I am excited to finish the page as i then want to get feedback from people to see what their opinions of the newspaper cover are.

I took a picture of a student that was walking around the college in a previous project and I thought that it would work well on my newspaper as I would be able to cut him out relatively easy and pose him on top of a plain coloured background. Here he is cut out and I will now put him on a light blue rectangle on the right hand side of the front page and I will use it to advertise a South Downs college open day.

More editing.

I have continued on from lastly putting a headline on to my newspaper cover and I have now played around with the size of the headline further and I feel happy with how it looks now. I have added a subheading to the story to add a little more information to the headline, with out giving too much away.

Adding another story to my cover.

I have studied other news paper and realized that the font is very bold and large. I started out with the headline, Girl in wheelchair after brutal dog attack. I really liked this idea as it seamed a good enough headline, also it would be an interesting story. So I had to play around with the fonts to make sure that the headline would fit into the area that I had set out for it. After much trouble I decided that I needed to shorten the headline. So I ended up rearranging the words to Wheelchair for girl after dog attack which i feel is much more effective so in the end it was the right thing to do. The shorter the better in this case.
Here is my newspaper cover with the new headline.
