WEEK 10

My headline  is 'TEENAGER  DIAGNOSED WITH AIDS AT AGE 13' I decided to choose this headline beacuse the picture i took relates to this  headline,because the image below as you can see ,the female looks quite ill and sad,so it connotes with the headline.

Here is picture of how i have layed out my newspaper,the leadline is in black and background,white because from my questionaire,alot of people preferred the black and white theme and also all newspaer are black and white,and any other colour,would make my newspaper looked unrealistic and unproffessional as to how a newspaper article should look

My article is about a young teenager who has been diagnosed with aids,and is surviving through medication,which has resorted to her loosing her younger sibling,because they are now in care homes.the reason being is because her mother is unable to take care of them,for she is blind,so it is not reasonable or sensible to put more burden onto the mother.
.

This is my article :

"Charlie Smith aged 12 is the youngest child to be diagnosed with AIDS .She has been giving few medications that she is using now, as the disease has spread around her cells that she can barely walk, or move. A source said she admitted that she slept with men from age 10 so she could put food on the table for her blind mum and two younger siblings. Her mum was interviewed and admitted to be aware of the job her daughter was taking part in, she argued she had try to stop her, but there was so much she could do for a blind person like her could do.

But Charlie, is facing a very epic moment right now, because the doctors said “gradually she would become to loose some of her hair” also the fact she has a low immune system, she is at high risk of surviving of the medication she has been prescribed. This sad message has caused her mother to be depressed and who is currently sick at the moment. Therefore, they are left with no other option than to put the two young siblings in care."

My article as you can see is fairly short,as to other types of newspaper article thisi is because in my content page ,my article is quite long and in depth,but on  a different story. so it would be more reasonable to have one long story,rather than two long stories.
theres has also been some changes so that the layout of my article meets the convention of a local newspaper.  For example starting of a newspaper with block capitals ,so that it draws readers attention,also from researching 'daily mail 'i found out they use block capitals to start of thier articles.also researching other articles you barely come acroos an artcile that the lead headline starts in lower case.

week 9

The font i decided to use was 'Stencil std' .I choose to use this font because i couldnt find any font ,that i wanted,and i wanyed my font to be different from every other newspaper article because after research i came to conclusion i would not like to be using the same font as any other local newspaper.

Looking at my previous name plate i hadnt researched as to different types of fonts suitable for a newspaper, but now i made changes by changing the type of font used ,also i didnt include that date established in previous name plate it was only the date.However in my new template the date,price and webstie link to my newspaper is all included,so that my newspaper looks much more proffesional and original.

 My logo of the london eye also blends with the name of my newspaper,because it is around the lambeth area.

 However, it shows that i have developed better skills,and understanding of how a newspaper should be arranged and positioned in the right order.

By looking at the template of my name plate that I first designed,I decided to make changes for instance the issue date is now positioned below the name plate but in the same row as the 'establishing date', 'price' and 'website link' as it looks more presentable and formal. Hence, having the issue date slanted at the top right hand corner of the newspaper is not appealing to the reader.

week 7

Below are images i have collected for my front cover ,i would explain how i have used photoshop to edit or change them from the original,or whether i kept it as the original.

This picture is represnting the trademark of lambeth,i decided to use this picture because its is highly recognised and well known london eye,which happens to be in the lambeth region. I also thought it would be of good significance since mostly everyone in the lambeth area knows about it . i decided  not to chnge my picture as i believe it was perfect for the way i wanted it to look.

This is my main photo for my headline topic,as you can see,i have made no changes because this is how i wanted my picture,i also thought it loooked very clear enough ,which is essential as it is the main photo on the front cover of my newspaper article.it would also come clear why i choose this picture as it goes with my headline .

This is one of the pictures of my advert,its a picture of a car,i decided not o change it because as an advert pictures are meant to come out clear,so i choose not to alter ait in any aspect,in order to change the effect as the picture is clear enough.

This is also a scecond advert,of a bin,telling people to make use of recylce bins,so they can help the community be a more neat environment,and less waste of products that can be used again. however i decided to edit this picture because as u can see , the sun is reflecting on the bin,so i needed to tone it up ,so that the colour blends in with the background properly and so that its clear enough.

i used photoshop to make sure the picturr is a bit darker than the normal,by going to image

week6

This is a little collage of different local newpaper that i was reaserchig on ,in order todecide what to base my story line of,consideringmy newspaper article is within the lambeth south rehgion,as we can see above most of the newspaper article in one way or the other has somethig to do with south,or lambeth

week 5

I made a question asking 10 young teeenager from ages 18 and over ,because this is my target audience for my newspaper .

This questionnaire shows that 5 out of the ten young  teenagers i asked ,found the name lambeth times more attractive,and majority carries the vote , which means this name would be the most appriopate,whereas the others tend to carry less votes so i would not be using any of them .

From my chart above it shows that alot of peopple tend to pay 20p - 40p for their newspapers,so i have come to the conclusion of making it 10p due to the fact ,i might have a high market of consumers, especially if its cheapper than 20p.

My newspaper was going to be sold in local corner shop,and my survey just proved this would be the right step to take,for 90% said they purchase their local newspapers from corner shops.

For this ,i had a drawn outcome as to which i would make visible and which would be the highlight of my newspaper,so i have choosen to make both name plate and photo the center of attention in my local newspaper front cover.

as you can see,black and white has more people ,and also from research on local newspaper tend to be black and white,so it make more sense if my newspaper article is black and white

Week 3

During my research on the type of layouts that can be used  i decided to try out  different layout that i may consider using. By using in-design i came uo with these layouts below.

I have come to the conclusion that these layouut would help me decide how i am going to layout my official newspaper article.

I am most likely going to use the first template as i would want my lead storyline to be the front photo topic,meaning the photo that would be used ,the story would be related to it.
