I feel my finshed cover is very successful, although it was really challenging to complete. I like the arrow as it really stand out and i have been able to use this arrow in my other products so that audience would feel familiar with what they are reading and would instantly reconignse the product are link, although I think having the link between the product makes all or my work together more realistic as a real life media product.
Choice i made when creating my cover:
- Orignally i had the arrow a lighter grey but i realised it would be more effective to have red as it create a contrast with the grey and stands out as a colour. Overall i feel this small change transformed the look of the entire cover.
- Name my Newspaper "Local Life". Afer completing research and thinking realiscally about what reports I'd be able to have with photo's i realised my best option would be to keep my newspaper as local as possible and therefore i decide to reflect this in the name of the newspaper and used the alliteration to make the name catchy, which would make it more memorable for the new audience.
- Fronts: I tried maybe different fonts when using page to creating my cover. The font I choose were what I thought looked most aesetically pleasing and stood out the most whilst following some conventions of font use in newpapers so that the audience will reconigse this as a local newspaper.
- Photos: I have posted the other photos I have taken and considered using on my main blog. Ic dceid to use these two photo as they seemed most suitable after looking though all the photos. I decide to use two photo as they fited well with the layout, and although just have one photo worked well, i wanted to show both a posed photo and a action photo.
- The bottom row: i wanted a advert along the bottom of my newspaper to make it seem more realistic. I decide it would be best to have the advert linking to my newspaper and the fact that my newspaper is new. Therefore i made this section about subscribing to the newspaper as it would attact loyal readers early on.
- The tagline "letting you know about the local life we live" - Once again i worked with alliteration to create a catching tagline which link to the name of the newspaper and once again states that the newspaper is local, telling the audience what to expect from the newspaper.
