Page Layouts...

I have drawn up two draft layouts of my pages. One of my front cover, and one of my inside page. These draft layouts just give an insight an some idea as to what my pages are going to look like and also what stories, adverts and titles are going to go where.


This is the draft layout of my front cover. At the top of my cover page I have two small adverts, One says "Win iPad Mini Inside" with a small image of an iPad mini. The second advert is to get tickets inside for Bristol Zoo Butterfly Exhibition This is just to show the audience that there are chances of winning different things inside of the Bristol Bulletin issues, this is a good example of a 'plug' drawing the customer in, and good promotion for both my newspaper, Apple and also the local Bristol Zoo.

Beneath these small adverts is my title "Bristol Bulletin". On the letter 'i' in both of the words the dots have been emphasised as part of my logo and individuality for my newspaper. I though the emphasis of the dots was effective as it suits the name of 'Bulletin' because they look like bullet points.

Underneath my title I have followed a convention of other newspapers an put the web address of my newspaper and also the date of the day the paper was issued.

Down the left hand side of my newspaper cover I have two of my adverts. The first advert (one on the top) is the advert of the local taxi company. I have not yet designed my adverts but know roughly what they will look like and what they will include. The second advert is of the local window cleaner, again like I said I have not yet designed any of them but know what they will look like and consist of. For example both of these adverts will have a small logo/image, a contact number, company name.

The next part of my front cover is my main story that does take up a majority of the page. My front cover story is going to be about a local fundraiser for a charity of some sort. I also have not yet drafted up my story but again roughly know where it is going and what it will consist of. There will be an image of people at the fundraiser raising money to go along with the story.

Finally at the bottom of my front cover there is another advert. This is the advert of the Estate Agents. Again I roughly know what this will look like and the design of it but it hasn't yet been created. On the advert there will be the company name, contact number, web address, office address, logo/image.


Here is the layout to my inside page. At the top of the page is a small section for the newspaper web address and the page number.

The first half of the page has one of my stories on. The first story one this page is about the new opening of the local restaurant (the mezze). As usual there will be an image of the mezzo to go along with the story of the opening. This story takes up a majority of the page.

On the second half of the page is a small story about the local health care centre but there is no image to go with this story as it is only small.

Beside the story is my last advert which is of the coach company and a trip that they are doing. Advert again will include; contact number, company name, web address, logo/image.
