The Layout of my paper

The layout which I chose for my paper, on both the front and inside page was to be in four collums.
Through doing this I was able to keep the overall finish of my product neat and clear and ensure that it gave the finish of a real newspaper.

I chose to use 'ears' at the top of my paper to attract the audience on the content of the paper and with benefits from buying the paper. This was a feature I found ref;ected in other papers I looked at both globaly and localy each with different scale of prizes to be given away, for example local papers used food or voucher givaways and the Sun used holiday givaways.

I chose to use one advert in the bottom right of the paper to broadcast an offer from one of the local shops. I felt that through using this advert I was able to reflect one of the offers that comunity had to offer and was able to benefit the client and readers as the adverts is informing of a special offer.

I chose to have one small feature story alongside the main picture and headline as almost all the papers I had researched into had done this, therefore making my paper look more professional, I also felt that through doing this I would be able to entice the reader to buy the paper to read more as I felt its important to use a feature story on a different type of genre to the main one to show a diversity in story type and the paper.

I chose to use the feature used in my style model of a collum down the left hand side, which I feel adds character to the paper and gives it a good finished look. I was also able to advertise other elements of the paper and where readers could contact if any problems. It also allowed me to experiemnt with other fonts using bolds and itialics and different colours which encourperating with the layers and seperate headings was difficult but gave a good finish.
