First Page Progression

This is my first draft of my front page, the design follows my previous 'floor plan' design. I have created my news stories according to the photographs I have taken. The main story on here is based on Baffins Pond and the idea of 'keeping off'. The Masthead design was chosen and tweaked after the design was chosen in a classroom vote. The top of the masthead also includes other information including the district in which the newspaper is sold, the website for the newspaper and a smaller news story that would feature in the latter part of the paper.

In my next progression I have included more advertisements for local companies and included 'offers' a common part of local newspapers, which have offers of winning Holidays etc.... The main concern on this page however is the bottom advertisement, as the image would not appeal to many people because of the rust on the boat.

In this version I have changed the bottom advert and used a photograph I took on a trip to France using a cross channel ferry, the image has people value a necessary element of the front page.

This design uses a completely different main  story after I decided that using a photo with potential humour and human interest alongside a catchy headline would be more effective than the previous headline. The other stories on the front page must now conform to the main headline and the winter feel.

Final design, this is my intended final front cover.
