Existing Newspaper Logos

I have reasearched some current newspaper logos and noticed that the logo is the main attraction of the paper is indeed the logo and so i will be designing my logo as according to these.
I like the use of the background colours with the bold white lettering to make the logo stand out from the rest of the paper. the font and the layout of the logo make it important and interesting towards the reader and I am willing to apply this to use in my logo.

Front Page Images.

For my main story i decided to use the story of a young, local lad being involved in drug abuse resulting in a life changing experience. i feel as though this story will attract a lot of attention because it will interest many people and make them aware of the consequences of drugs. although this story produces a negative image, people will become very interested. i decided to display my subject in normal student clothes however the use of the hood trys to indicate a "thugish" image about him. this picture demonstrates perfectly how the local student has changed his life for drugs.

Banner

I have created a banner for my newspaper to be positioned just above my main headline and underneith my newspaper name. I have chosen to make a banner because i noticed the general theme of banners in current newspapers and the affectiveness of using a banner.i have chosen the banner to advertise a holiday because it will be interesting to many people and will grap their attention with the use of contrasting colours and large text. 

Front Page.



This is the front of my newspaper, i have asked thirs party members to comment on my newspaper as a source of feedback for either compliments or constructive criticism. the general feedback was good for my front cover as people liked the use of colours and images.

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.
