My Adverts.





For my adverts i decided to create a local bedroom's shoowroom advert, a chance to win cash for a local school advert, a pawnbrokers advert and a free holiday advert.
i have chosen to create these adverts based on the layout of other newspapers and i noticed that these types of advert are very popular in local newspapers. the Dreamz and Free Holidays adverts will be placed at the top of my newspaper while the other two will be positioned at the bottom. this type of layout is important so not all adverts are squashed but not too far spread apart to put the reader off the newspaper.
i decided on the plain and simple green colouring for my Dreamz advert. this colour scheme is ordinary but however stands out with contrast to the rest of the newspaper.
my second advert was the Win cash for schools advert. this advert is a simple and effective and grabs the interest of the reader straight away.

Advert Designs.

This advert can be shown in either local or national newspapers as it will interest most of the general public. The advert design is rather simple but however it stands out and will attract attention through the vibrant colour scheme. The advert exaggerates how good the car will look after the paint protection is applied to interest the reader and try to intrege them.  

Front Page Adverts.





These adverts are the same type that i will be using in my newspaper. they advertise local businesses and promote them to the public surrounding the newspaper.

Front Page Story.


My idea is a distressed story of a local boy who throws his education away when he is arrested after a drug raid. I feel this is a very impacting story to use as it will attract the intrest of the readers and it is a very touching story so will keep the readers focused. Above is the picture i will be using for the front cover, cropped slightly.

I have decided to use the slogan "Linking People Together" as it brings a warm feeling to the audience. This slogan works well with the selected name of the paper "The Wigan Link" and because of this it is a memerable slogan that will attract all types of people.

Newspaper TV Advert Ideas.








I have researched these adverts for different newspapers online, looking for different ways in which each newspaper presents itself via the internet. Each paper advertises itself by using catchy phrases and memorable videos in the advert. These adverts follow all similar themes and are great for attracting customers.

Front Page Template.

I have created a template to demonstrate where i will put various conventions onto my front page. I have decided to display the main advert and headline in the middle of the page to attract attention towards them. The pictures along side the main headline show what the main story is about. These techniques add the most effect and the layout will apopeal to all types of audiences, rather than a specific type.

I have included this spider diagram to demonstrate the different ideas that can be used as a main headline for my newspaper. There could also be ideas involving charity work or an unique experience.

Front Cover Design. Daily Star.

When I began looking at previous newspaper designs i noticed that many papers follow the stereotypical design and layout of using a specific colour scheme, keeping the slogan and headline in the same format and also displaying adverts in the same way.
I have chosen to use a design that follows previous newspaper layouts, by warping the text around the main headline and picture all the attention is drawn towards the main story. This is a simple and very effective way to attract attention and focus on the main headline.

The use of adverts also allows the main headline stand out but however they too attract attention in the bright colours and font used. The adverts are all of general interest to the public and so will attract the readers attention.
