My first idea for my broadsheet design I have chosen a design similar to the Irish Independent newspaper. The structure is
clear as to which is the main story as the image takes up two columns for it to be placed. Having the image near the centre
means that it will be the first image that will grab their attention. Ii want to place the master heading at the top in bold to give
the layout a clean and well organised layout as the master head is commonly used at the top, I chose to stick with the same
tradition. I want to insert the body copy next to the large image as it indicates the image is illustration the copy next to it. I
will add a header to give the reader brief information on what the article will be about and also use a pull quote as these are
sometimes used to keep the audience interested and make them carry on reading. Finally I will be adding other articles that
will be featured in this newspaper, this will keep the reader aware that they can read other articles that they may be
interested. It gives brief stories about what there is to read and what the scope is about. With the example I have found I
found that they too have added other stories but located it the top of the page, I have used this as a guideline as I like they
layout making it look professional and formal as it is targeted at a much older target audience.

My second idea I decided to go for a complete different approach and have an image on the stop of the page layout as
you can see the example I have found of the broadsheet layout newspaper on the right. There is a range of different
images for different articles selected as images are extremely popular by keeping the audience enthusiastic giving them
the freedom to read whatever article takes their fancy. I thought I would imply some of the same techniques in my plan
designs. I have used the different range of images such as placing the image on top of the layout and also three
different images on the left hand side of the page. And having the main copy placed on the right hand side. I will use a
drop capital on the main article so the reader knows exactly where the article starts to avoid confusion. Again another
pull quote will be used as i find this technique is a good way to draw attention to the main article you want the audience
to read.

In my research for designs I found a page layout that was simple and straight forward that I could sued for my thrid idea.
Again the master head will be located at the top of the page as very broadsheet does so. I will place the headline underneath
again for the main article that i will write about. This time I will use a pull quote as a subheading, this will keep the audience
hooked on the article as they have been designed to lure them into reading further on.
The image will contain a caption underneath giving a brief sentence of the image but also place another image based on the
same article in the body copy. Images are very important as the read wants to be able to visualise what the writer is saying.
An advert will be located at the bottom of the layout as some people maybe interested on what is on offer, keeping the layout
fresh with a range of different topics.

Images are very important in broadsheet layouts as it shows
what the copy is about and gives the audience a visual image.
They can see exactly what the writer is talking about but also
helps the audience to see who or what they are talking about if
they are not a fan of reading a lot of text. Its helps balance out
an article as it makes the broad sheet interesting.
By having the right image gives a good explanation of the article
if the reader does not understand on what they topic is about.
This is a good source as there is something for everyone and
also making the layout more attractive as it will draw more
attention to people.
Master head
Master heads are used in every publication. This gives the
newspaper a name and making it stand out from the others
and also making it recognisable for people. This shows the
audience what type of publication it is and also where the
name is. This gives every newspaper or magazine a
unique element as people will know and tell what company
it has come from.
The master head has its own font type this is so that it
stand out from the copy, and headings.
I have decided that I will use a graffiti font as it is well
suited for my article and its sub culture hip hop. The
audience will be able to identify what type of article that is
printed based on the master head showing that its is based
on hip hop. Graffiti plays a big part in hip hop as it is to
mark their territory and is used as an indicator to show a
mark of a certain gang.Headline
Headlines are important in publications as they
indicate a brief sentence about the copy. It also
makes the article organised and professional as it
covers everything one might question. It makes it
clear to the audience so they know exactly which
section to read. I have chosen a selection of styles
from Da font website as I want a font that is clear
but also appropriate for the audience and clear to
read.
I have researched articles that are related to hip
hop and have used sharp bold and clear headlines.
This is so it will be noticeable by the audience.
Body copy
The body copy is the most important piece on a
broadsheet layout as it is the main text on what the
article is about. It needs to be a clear throughout so the
reader has no difficulty in reading. Again on Da font i
have come across some fonts that that are appropriate
for my design. As my theme is based on hip hop i have
gone for a similar font style to the headline. The body
copy is sharp and bold but also the text size will be
smaller so the reader does not get confused when
reading and separated the headline with the copy.
