The document summarizes the progress made on creating a second newspaper page. It describes creating an interview-style article about a band, then designing an advertisement for a mobile phone provider using Photoshop. Details are provided on styling the text and background colors to match the brand. The document also mentions adding contact information like other newspapers, though more development is needed. In total, the page is coming together but still has gaps to fill out.

1. First of all I had to create my story for the article carried on from the front page
secondary story. This was all about Ben’s band: ‘Weather the Storm’. I wanted to
interview Ben, about the band, and their gigs, and what’s happening next for them, so I
came up with some questions. I then asked him them, and wrote my article like an
interview. This was the end result:

2. I then started to create an advert for my second page, I
researched a few different mobile phone adverts, and then started
creating mine. I created my advert on Photoshop and I began by
writing the text, and creating the logo, by finding a font that
matches theirs. I also had to find a picture of a dongle and then
cut around it, so that I could put it on my advert with no
background, so it would fit on mine. I then created the
background by having it gradually going from lighter blue to
black from bottom to top. I then made the text white, so that you
could read it over the background colour. However I then created
a star like explosion shape, which I made white to stand out, I
made the text inside blue to go with the theme of O2 as it is blue
and white.
I like this advert, as I think it looks very professional, and could
be an advert for O2, so I think it is successful as a brand.
I then began to create the about me and distributions
section, I began by researching other papers about me
sections, and decided to try and make it like them. I put
the email, the text address, the editorial phone number,
the advertising phone number, which like other
newspapers was the same. I put the distribution and
Classified phone numbers as well. I do not think I have
done very much with this, therefore I plan to improve and
develop this.
Once putting all of these parts on my second page, this was the result:

3. At the moment it has a lot of gaps, however I can see it has potential to be a good second
page. At the moment, I think the advert stands out the most, however I still have a lot to
put on this page.
