Cover and Inside page with my own photos

FRONT PAGE of 'the Element'

My front cover has seen many changes since the intial design which was drafted roughly. Now the front cover is taking shape with my own photo as the cover image, you can see how the Element will look when finally printed out and finished. Evidently the paper needs to still incorporate the advertising space which is vacant at the moment and thast is the enxt step for my newspaper, I will start to create advetrts whilst using the photos I have have already taken, whilst taking new ones.

I will experiment with a wealth of photos to see whether the photo fits with the page and to ensure that the page doesnt read from left to right and instead that the reader can read as they wish. Dismissing stories that disinterest them ,however it is important to remember my audience research which is intergal to my paper. I must remember that my audience want factual stories with a few images sprayed around the paper with a hint of colour.

The image from the sex offender story isn't original and that needs to be changed fairly soon to ensure I can edit and finalise every last detail of my cover as I wish.



INSIDE PAGE of 'the Element'



 The above inside page has seen rapid development, from the writing of the stories through to the photos now being displayed on the page. The images are mostly my own however the bottom left photo still needs to be altered. The headlines appear realistic and similar font to the sub-headlines from my main case study, the Bristol Evening Post.

I need to write my stories for the rest of the inside page and will finalise these at a later stage to ensure they are written in the narrative structure. I need to structure the page and divide them up so that they don't read as one. I may also again experiement with different stories and images on the page.
