Inside Page with only a few more changes before it's ready for first draft

First Draft For My Front Page

My Last Advert

My last advert is for a CD store in Nailsea. I tried to create the advert relating to the context of the fictional business, such as what the business is and where it is. By this I mean that I tried to purposely not make the advert to in depth and tried to make it look like the creators did not put too much money behind it as at the end of the day, it is just a small shop on the Nailsea where you can buy and sell CD's.

Made my last advert...

Nearly there...

Pretty much got to the point where the first draft of my magazine is completely done.
All I have to do now is make another advert for my inside page & take a picture for one of the main stories (the one about the young footballer), the latter of which should potentially be quite simple as I play football quite regularly, so I should be able to use one of my friends as a model.

My Advert

The pictures below this post on my blog are the adverts that I will include in my newspaper.

I created all of the adverts myself from scratch, taking all of the pictures myself, some of which I used a helpful effect on my cameraphone which gives the picture a older-looking effect, and a more professional looking effect all-round.

My inside page after remodelling

I totally changed the layout of my inside page, the most notable difference being the involvement of the 5-column-system that I have seen many times and is used in most papers. I also managed to make more space on the page, which means that I am able to fit in more pictures, and they will be a lot bigger as well. This fits in well with the audience research that I did a while back which told me that I will want an even mix between text and pictures on my page. Because of this, I think my newly-styled inside page fits my desired specification a lot better than my old inside page layout.

My front page after remodelling

I made a few changes to my front page to make sure that it resembled more of a standard real newspaper.

Firstly, I added a column system to the stories to make the layout look more realistic. I also changed the font of the headlines to make most of them the same, instead of the front page I had before with about 6 different headline fonts, which made the page look quite novice.
