Front Cover Final

I have re-edited my front cover today, the day before the deadline and I really shouldn't be touching it at all but the bottom advertisement wasn't following a true convention of The News as their advertisements on the lower region are much larger. So I have raised the story up slightly like how I have mentioned briefly in my evaluation, and placed in a yellow/creamy background box with bright writing over the top naming the company "Gunwharf Harbour Travel" in a very flourescent pink as this is one aspect of how some local business are portrayed in a local community. The colours are often bright, not only in newspaper but outside a niche market or business in a town in Portsmouth. So I used this aspect to evoke a bright and punchy selling point. I also included a deal like many papers do in order to promote and small local business and used a picture of mine from Spain.







I LOVE this photo, I think I even used this in my magazine for last year's work as part of a competition. The palms trees skimming along the front with a complete view of the sea, beach and the tourism involved which is key to portray for a holiday type company.


Now, because my background of it is yellow I had to change the right side stories as these backgrounds were also yellow. So I simply just used the other colours that had een used in small in the paper and now it appears more life-like and diverse with colours.


The Southern News is now much more filled with life!
