First Draft Newspaper Cover Design...

I have created a draft design for what I would like the front cover of my newspaper to look like. Because I have not collected all of my images for my newspaper the draft doesn't have the images to go with the stories or any of my adverts, but this week I will be taking all of my pictures and putting them into my first draft design to see what it all looks like together. I have created my draft cover on a software I have on my laptop at home called Pixelmator, therefore I think I may have created myself a problem as I don't think the dimensions are correct for a tabloid newspaper. Despite this I plan to just create another version of my cover on the software we have at school; In Design and just put all of my written stories and my images into this version of my cover.
