The Masthead Design

Firstly, I need to think of a name for my Newspaper. I have chosen a few names such as;

Copnor Chronicle - Aliterateration use makes this title stand out the most

Spinnaker News - Using the 'south's' most iconic modern landmark makes the news seem modern

Portsmouth Press  - Use of aliteration again, and the wide area it covers gives it flexibility

Portsea Island News - The idea behind this on was to shorten it to PIN and have that as a recognisable name.

I feel that Copnor Chronicle is possibly the best name out of the three here because of the alliteration, but it's limiting the area of Copnor. The others cover a wider area, so I have designed all four mastheads to see which would look the best.

I have conducted a vote from my peers on the three masthead designs.

The opinion on this one is that the colour scheme is original and it looks the most 'proffesional'. However the 'Copnor' area is restricted and the logo doesn't demonstrate the area's points of interest.

 

This idea was the least favoured in the vote out of three, but the idea of using initialism of P.I.N was favoured by a few participants.

 

The Spinnaker News was considered the best out of the three I have chosen to work with, the use of the image and blue colour gives a modern look I was orgininally hoping to achieve.
