First Draft of Newspaper.

I am now constructing my newspaper , below is the first draft of both the front and first page.

Advertisement Planning and Construction

During my newspaper analysis , I also analysed the advertisements found on the front and first page of the newspaper. This was in order to gain an understanding into which companies/businesses and the genre's of the said corporations advertise on the front of newspapers. I also was interested in which corporation would fit into my newspaper and where the advertisement would be placed.

I eventually chose a restaurant to take the advertising place on the front page. I choice this because the restaurant is local , therefore tying into my newspapers locality. The advertisement also appeals to a large varying target audience. This lead to my decision to place this business as my main advertisement.

Below is a copy of the advertisement.

Construction of Masthead.

I constructed two versions of my newspaper's masthead. I did this in order to compare which masthead would fit in with the over-all look of my newspaper.

Below are the two mastheads.
