The Front Cover of my newspaper is based on the research of other local newspapers that I have analyzed from my area and from each one I have taken certain elements that I thought would be good to fit in to my layout. Although the newpaper looks quite colourful, I have only used basic primary colours as the format of my newpaper elements because in Print I don't want to create a sense of overcrowding and having the colour scheme simple means the printing of the newspaper would be easy, if the issue was to be printed in mass production then as most newspapers, the quality of paper and colours printed wouldn't be as bright and of poorer quality than the high resolution seen on the computer screen when in design stages. Although I think that as this a new newspaper that is being marketed and advertsied it needs to stand out from the other local newspapers, and on a shelf display the array of colour (used mainly on adverts and pictures) would certainly do that as it is eye-catching. The front cover as it stand is very eye catching more predominantly towards the Masthead which shows that it looks effective on the paper and eyecatching and hopefully will become recognisable. The audience will also become very drawn to the main articles images which are positioned in line to catch the eye of the reader, both of these images are very bold and bright, due to the quality of the photo's. On both pagesof the newspaper I have kept the Style the same, similar layouts of articles, same font used (Arial) which is clear and precise and easily readable even from a distance. Overall I am most pleased with the masthaead as although it didnt take me a long time to create I think it makes an big impact, its clear and bold but also lively. In comparison to other newspapers I have analysed such as The Newshopper, it is more unique.
