The student designed a logo for their newspaper using a tree to represent the town of Ash in the publication's name. They chose a blue color scheme for the logo and masthead at the top of the newspaper pages. The front page includes standard newspaper elements like a date line, headline, and advertisements in different colors while keeping an overall blue theme. It also features smaller articles and a contents listing, with contact details at the bottom. The main article is about a local boy and includes a photographed taken at his school fencing class.

2. After deciding on the name of my newspaper I started to design the
Logo. I decided on a tree because of “Ash” in the name of the town. I
also decided to make it blue to match the colour scheme of the
newspaper masthead. Both the mast head and the logo will be at the
top of the newspaper in a standard font to make it obvious and
readable.

3. Here I started to add in standard contents of a newspaper which includes a
date line, a kicker and adverts. These small additions make the newspaper
seem more professional as they feature on all magazines, I have kept up with
the blue colour scheme to keep it looking neat and representational (this idea
came from my research on the Brighton and Hove newspaper) however I have
added in some other colours such as the kicker being in red and the “Taxi”
advert is written in yellow.

4. I then started adding in the smaller articles on the side and a mini contents
section on what else is featured in the newspaper. I have kept colour scheme for
the contents section and underneath I have added in an “enquires” note with a
way of contacting the newspaper. So far I think the newspaper is looking quite
professional and I am sticking to my layout plan,

5. This is the final piece, here I’ve added in my main article which is about a local
boy this keeps in with the local newspaper task. I have also added a picture to
go with this article, to get this I went along to some of the fencing classes at the
school (as this is what the article is about). I have also added in another advert
in the corner, there is still a blue theme on the front page but the picture and the
advert have added in some more colour to make it look a little less plain. I am
really pleased with how it looks.
