Little Changes...

I have only made small changes to my newspaper since I last blogged and these include changes that needed to be made and also changes that would hopefully just improve my newspaper that little bit more.

One change I did make according to my most latest feedback on my newspaper from my teachers was to the Bristol Zoo plug on my front cover.

Here is my Bristol Zoo plug before and after the changes. One major change that needed to me made to this Bristol Zoo plug was the logo that was used in the first place. To begin with I uses the original Bristol Zoo logo until my teachers reminded me that I was not allowed to do that, instead I used the software Pixlemator to make my own Bristol Zoo logo and included it on my newspaper plug. 

I also included an image of a butterfly to this plug making it more pleasing on the eye attracting more attention. 

Another small change I made on the inside page of my newspaper was to the red bar above the fold containing the date, the page number and the newspapers web address.

Its hard to notice in these images but the small change I made to this red information bar was was by putting the page number on the inside pages in the top right hand corner instead of in the middle of the bar where it was originally. I chose to make this small change as it makes it easier and more effective for my audience to find a certain page they may be looking for. 

Another small change made to my newspaper was the layout of the lines separating up the page. Originally I did have lines in between each column of the stories, also between the image and the story and finally also between the heading of the story and the story itself. Instead I now have lines only separating the two different stories on the page and also separating my adverts from the stories. The reason I decided to remove the majority of lines on the page is because I thought it confused the page a little having lines everywhere not making it clear what images heading and stories went together. 

Poster Final...







































Here is the final copy of my newspaper poster. The most recent change to this is the Bristol Zoo advert that I created myself and what replaced the real Bristol Zoo advert.

Radio Advert...

For my radio advert I decided to use part of the song Chocolate by 1975. The reason I chose to use this song was because it was upbeat and I thought it fitted nicely with my advert and what was being said.


I created my radio advert on the software Garage Band. I chose the song I wanted to use and put this into Garage Band editing the volume and then put my voice recording over the top.


Originally I did have my younger sister reading the script for my radio advert but from the feedback I received from my teachers I had to make some changes as they thought it wasn't suitable to have a younger girls voice advertising a newspaper so therefore I recored myself reading the script myself.
