Although i do not need the main article, as specification only says 2 pages, however i created it just incase it became necessary and also a back page with two football stories which i will be posting as extra work. I also created 2 articles i had originally planned to add into the newspaper, both of which are shown below along with the original and then re-worked pictures.

Due to current issues at school and computer and internet issues at home i have been unable to update my blog, so far i am adding finishing touches to my final pages of my newspaper and am working towards getting the poster for it done, as well as looking into my radio advert and what it should contain

Posters:

Earlier on i have some other newspaper posters that can be helpfull to the design of mine, here are some more i will be looking at for guidance ;

The Zimbabwean:

The Times:

I have almost completed my newspaper pages, in the next two hours i will be checking through it and through my blog, as well as looking at newspaper posters and putting together an idea for my poster

There are some problems with making my newspaper exact to the others, as the size which i am using is A4 not A3 which means there is not as much room to add aditional advertisements and everything will not fit perfectly to a set standard although i have set it in my standard

For my main story, rather then taking an existing problem and just writing a story about it, I thought it best to create my own from parts on the news that have not been as in the light, I came up with Alex Simmons a brutal Robber who steals from Bookies and injures people in the process, I though it best I look on other new and old cases of these types of crime:

These are all within the last year or so and show how robberies at bookies are increasing in number and violence, however these stories aren't front page news in many cases, I sought to change this with mine.

I also have also emailed the evening chronicle and the sun on my situation and asked a few questions about their designs and how they make the paper, i have yet to hear back from them but am optimistic

I have been looking through further front pages and sketching extra ideas to compare the differences between my design and others that are out there.
I will also point out the similarities in the way newspapers are designed and how my paper gives these same type of designs

Re-makes

These 3 are the remade pages without pictures, there is more to be added but this gives a brief look and an overview of my plan

I have been unable to upload to my blog for a few weeks due to computer problems

However during this time i have been out taking the pictures for my newspaper, however the ones i took for my football story came out to dark and unable to change them enough for them to become usable, so i will be taking more and trying to get it in more lighter weather.
I have added additional extras to each page to make the overall look more like a newspaper, this includes adverts, bar code, the newspaper address and website
