Poster (1st Draft)...

Changes...

According to the feedback I received from my teacher on the second draft of my newspaper, I have made several changes.

One thing they commented on the most was the layout of my paper. Here is my second draft:

My initial idea was to have a large advert along the bottom of my front cover with my one main story taking up most of my central, left page with another two adverts in the right hand side of the page. From the feedback I received I was advised to change the layout of my front cover as my teachers thought there was a large amount of writing on the front page and therefore encouraged me to make some changes in order to reduce the amount of text and make it look more like a newspaper cover. 

My Third Draft:

The changes I made to my cover were:

• Enlarged the image that goes with my main story, making it take up most of my page. 
• Put a caption underneath the image telling the audience that the story that goes with this image and title is on the following page (referencing a sentence from the story on the next page and the page number)
• Decided to have only one advert on my front cover and in the spare space I had (where the other advert was meant to go) chose to put small story leads giving the audience an insight as to what other stories are in my newspaper. 
• Underneath the heading and picture to the story on the second page, I chose to have another short story. This story is going to be a story about a crime that has happened locally. 

My Third Draft: Inside Page: 

At the bottom of my inside page is the story that is shown on my front cover. There is another image, caption and heading with it. Because I moved this story from the front cover to this page I now need to add more to it in order for it to cover the white space. To the right of this story is another one of my adverts, the 'Capital Conversions' one. Above this is also going to be another advert advertising a 2 for 1 meal at a local restaurant. 

The story above this I am in two minds about. The idea I had was to put two images on the right hand of the two restaurants, Mezze and Venga, with captions underneath and then write the story next to them. The only problem is that it is a lot of space to fill and like the problem I had previously I don't want it to look like there is to much writing. One idea I did have that might help a little is to put a pull quote into my story and above the main story put a sentence that is slightly bolder and bigger. Im going to try out these ideas and see what it looks like.
