2. This layout was my first attempt so it does not look
very appealing. Having to stay inside the boxes meant
that there is a lot of space around the title. I think the
photograph is in an appropriate place which goes
well with the text. It is split into margins which gives
the text a frame.
My second attempt was also not very good because
again, there is a lot of free space around the title and
the photograph. I changed the position of the writing
so that it was not in the centre but this did not work
very well. Also, I did not split the text up into margins
which means that it was not as easy to read.
3. With this layout I tried moving everything around to see if
they looked better. I moved the photograph into the
bottom corner which gave more room for text. I also
changed the font to a slightly more modern one but I did
not think that it looked very good. I did not split the text
up into margins although I think it would look better if I
did as it would look more appealing to read. Although
there is still quite a lot of space.
For my fourth attempt I made sure that all the text
was split up into margins which had a big impact on
how the page looked. The downside to this layout is
that the title has a lot of space around it because it is
too small.
4. I think that my final
attempt looked the best. I
made the title slightly
bigger so that it did not
have a lot of space around it
which made it look more
appealing although there
does still look like there’s
quite a bit of space
underneath the title. I also
had all the text split into
margins which gave the
writing a frame. I think the
photograph is an
appropriate size as it is
clear to see and is not too
big or too small. I think
overall, this layout looks the
most like an actual
newspaper.
5. NOT USING BOXES
Both of these layouts have been done by not sticking to the guide boxes . I preferred doing it this way because it enabled me
to put things exactly where I wanted without having to worry about the boxes. It meant that I could place text over
photographs like I have done in the first layout which looks a bit more interesting than just having the title at the top of the
page. I have also made the image larger and zoomed in on it so it fills the top half of the page. I have kept the 3 margins for
the text but I have not stuck to putting them exactly where the guidelines are. I have made the second layout look a lot more
appealing to teenagers rather than having the standard font that you would expect to see in a newspaper. I have made split
the page up into 3 sections. I have put the photograph in the top part, the title in the middle of the page and the text is split
into 2 margins at the bottom. I think this layout looks appropriate because it does not look too busy and the writing is easy
to read. Out of these two layouts I prefer the first one because I think it looks more professional and I like the writing on top
of the photograph because I think it stands out more.
