The Brief

For my brief, I was set the task of creating the first two pages of an original local newspaper that I was to create all by myself, as well as two of the following:

• A billboard poster for the newspaper

• A radio advertisement for the newspaper

• Two web page hyperlinks from the newspaper's website

I have been analyzing newspapers in order to compare and contrast them so I can see what techniques and media devices are used to successfully target a newspaper at one particlur audience and for it to be successful. To do this I am going to have to do primary research into newspapers such as their content, advertising, font, layout, name, colour scheme and overall design so I can understand how to make a newspaper successful, ultimately leading to me creating my own local newspaper.
