CHANGE .. AGAIN. I've changed the idea again, just looking at what I'd done so far just appeared more like a poster or a leaflet of some sort rather than a newspaper. It looked too neat or maybe the wording wasn't right. So I've made changes and I feel much better about it now! Here's how it looks so far. <--- I much prefer the alliteration in my title. I've shortened the picture because I believe no-one really needs to see the whole tower as a local citizen would already know what it looks like. In my story I can give some information on what experts say about buildings etc. I feel much better with this one, it looks more like a newspaper ..finally. From feedback today I've had much more positive comments also, mostly on my catchy title but also on the layout. They've all literally commented on how the change of shape of the same photo has made a large difference to my piece. I'm pretty happy with it, now I can move on!
Although I'm beginning to see what I'm like when 'planning' and I really haven't gone with my template anymore, however I will see this as a learning curve and I have learned the type of convention in layout for my newspaper.
Things have to be squashed in at first (as I see that The News manage to fit loads in) but it does sort of plan out eventually! Colour is important, I'm not too sure on the kind of colours I have used for mine just yet ... and the story below it. I will probably change the picture for something with people in for a more personal because I see how The News personalise their stories as local people can relate to it more in comparison to an national newspaper.
