I am going to produce a front page for my newspaper named CIP that has a target audience of any age who are intrigued in reading international and national news stories.
My newspaper front page is going to be about the Heathrow flight cancellations where 30 flights carrying over 5000 people have been cancelled due to technical issues affecting baggage. I will make links towards theorists such as Jurgen Habermas and James Curran.
For my layout I will have an inspiration of our CSP, The Daily Mail, which I will use as ideas to try and help me create my front page accurately. The front page will include features such as, heading, main image, strapline, masthead and other details. Underneath my main image I will include columns of information related to the main news. Also, I will have a body articles containing around 150 words.
Overall, my front page will be aesthetically pleasing, smooth, and tidy by using text styles such as Aldhabi. I will include the logo and name of my newspaper on the front page. I will create and edit my newspaper features through Adobe photoshop.
I will be creating a front page from a regional newspaper that will report the tragedy of the Manchester Bombing in 2017.
Newspapers all have different Political Compasses/Political bias, where the readers and audience also have those same political views. I intend on making my newspaper Libertarian left wing, as this will represent my political bias. As theorist James Curran said ‘Reflect a wide range of opinions and interests’, and this is exactly how I intend on my newspaper being.
I will make the main story about new evidence found about the bombing in Manchester at the Ariana concert. To do this, I will use a photograph I have taken recently at a concert, so I wont have to go out and take one. My newspaper will be called ‘The Manchester Daily’, where it reports everything going on in the city. I intend on having three minor ‘sneak peek’ stories at the top of the newspaper, where it shows off some stories in the rest of the newspaper. The headline of my main story will be ‘New evidence found for Manchester bombing 5 years ago.’ I chose it to be this because it is short and gives all the details needed to allow the audience to be interested in the story. I then intend on have the sub heading ‘Police say they found additional evidence from the terrorist attack at the Ariana Grande concert in 2017.’ This is because it gives extra information to help the audience and readers understand the story more. Finally, for my strapline, I intend on writing ‘We chat with policer officers to get their side of the story.’ This is because in the main story, I mention three different Police Officers, therefore having it in the strapline allows the readers to get an idea about what they are about to read.
To visualise the design and graphology, I will be following a style model- The I, where I will be able to follow a formal structure. I will have the picture, possibly two, with captions underneath explaining what was happening. Following my style model, I will but above the title ‘A Source of information you can trust + Manchester’s finest newspaper.’ I will import my own long shot photographs that I have taken into InDesign, where I can then adjust them to the size and area I would like them to go.
To write the body of the article, I will use Microsoft Word, and then I will import it into ‘InDesign‘, which will allow me to shape the body in an aesthetically pleasing way. To design my work, I will use photoshop.
I intend to produce a front page of a newspaper with an audience are people of all ages living in the region who are interested in national and international news stories as well as stories relating specifically to the local area. My newspaper will be named “The Jersey Topic” and will comment on popular culture on the island of Jersey as well as hard news to do with politics, healthcare, and business etc. I imagine that this newspaper will present a relatively libertarian left wing political compass due to its heavy focus on humanity, culture and freedom over economics, business and politics. This links to Habermas’s ideas on the public sphere and how newspaper paved a way for creating a libertarian “arena of public debate” in which people had the freedom to express and discuss real world issues. I intend for this newspaper to “reflect a wide range of opinions and interests” (James Curran)
The main story featured on the front cover will be how the Jersey Opera House has been closed since the beginning of 2020. In the report I will focus on how the government has neglected the historical building due to a disregard towards the cultural industries. I will use previous news reports on the issue to help influence my own.
The headline for the front-page article will be “History left to ruin”. To accompany this, I will include two images of the building which highlight its abandonment as well as a subtitle which reads; “Abandoned culture neglected by lack of governmental support.” Following this will be a byline which reads: ‘By Charlie Dicker.’ As for layout and positioning, I will base my product on my style model, The Daily Mail newspaper (CSP) although I intend to include more copy/ ‘body’ text. The images I plan to include will be a long shot main image of the theatre building and then a close-up shot of the theatre logo, the caption on these photos will read; “Jersey Opera House, one of the islands most historical buildings, has been abandoned by the states”. To create my production, I intend to use a combination of ‘Adobe Photoshop’, ‘Microsoft Word’ (to write my copy) and ‘Adobe InDesign’. This will allow me to create the singular aspects to then compile it all together in one production piece. To create a realistic, professional newspaper design, I will include a series of ‘ears’ which link to other pages of the paper as well as a masthead, a barcode and columns for my body text.
I will structure the article using the ‘inverted pyramid of journalism’ model which explores how audiences read and decode news articles. Firstly, I will include factual, newsworthy, interesting information e.g. ‘Who, what, where, how, when’ which gives the basic background. This should be featured first to engage the passive audience with facts and figures which they can be ‘fed’. Secondly, I will appeal to the active audience who will read further, through continuing with more detailed accounts by using quotes from secondary sources before rounding the article off to a conclusion.
Having studied audience theories as well as theories on cultural institution, I will focus on the theory of Uses and Gratifications by Katz to link to the gratifications of consuming culture, in particular the theatre, as well as taking influence from David Hesmondhalgh’s theories on the creative industries and how creativity is a “risky business” which must be supported by certain strategies to reduce this risk.
I am going to produce a newspaper front cover for an audience of younger adults living in London who are interested in finding out what is happening around the area as well as across the country. I will make my main story about the train driver strikes and why and how long they will go on for. It will feature a picture of an overcrowded London underground tube station and a caption relating to the train station it was taken from.
In terms of layout and design I am going to follow the style model of The Daily Mail where there is a strip at the top with an advert, a syntagm of a main image with a strapline in big text beside it and then below a title and start of the story about tube strikes. I will use a british style colour palette of reds blue and white to show the support for nationalism. I will design my key elements in photoshop then use InDesign to create the other elements and put it together.
I want to create a newspaper front cover using Adobe InDesign that features local news for jersey. Mainly, I want the newspaper’s front cover to focus on the easyJet “crisis” wherein several employees were let go and the airline cannot handle the amount of flights that normally would be happening during peak travel season. Losing out on a lot of money and cancelling several flights since the start of June.
I want my design to follow a similar layout to popular newspapers such as The Daily Mail, where there is a main heading near the top of the page below the title with a picture underneath.
BODY
In recent months, EasyJet has cut 7% of the 160,000 flights it planned to run between July & September. Across the UK, hundreds of flights were cancelled during the week of the Platinum Jubilee alone, and concerns have been raised about travel during summer. EasyJet’s chief executive, Johan Lundgren, stated that the airline would normally operate around 160,000 flights throughout the summer months, and has apologised that EasyJet “had not been able to deliver the service” that customers” have come to expect from us” and that he expected the airline to be able to “re-accomodate” passengers. However, the airline has also been blaming issues such as staff shortages in airports and air traffic control delays.
For this piece of work, I intend to create two posters informing and educating people on the importance of recycling, recycling is not just a matter of ethical consumption or a tool to help to curb some of the problems the environment is facing, but it is also an economic tool at a global level. Recycling helps to be much more efficient in consumption data and allows reducing the spending and improving economic figures, whether it is recycling electronics or simple household waste it is important to the environment. I will create my poster on an app which provides templates and you add the images and text.
I am going to create a front page from regional newspaper reporting on a social or political issue of interest to its broad local. I will begin to make a sketch of my front cover so that I have an I idea of what I would like to create as I am not sure what I want to talk about yet. I want to create the format of my lay out of my newspaper first. Some examples of story lines I could create, would be about environment or economics, health, equality issues or even other issues that would target my audience. I will be using the app InDesign to create my newspaper front page and will target all ages living in the region who are interested in national and international new stories as well as stories that are related to the local area.
I will firstly use photoshop to create my masthead and then use InDesign to create the template ad import the masthead onto it. I will have a couple drafts and then finally choose the template that I prefer last and import all my final details onto it. To get an idea of what I am going to do I will ask some of my friends and ask what they would like to hear about so it makes the audience more interested in what they would like to see.
I am going to add some theory into my newspaper as I would like to portray the five filters that Noam Chomsky talks about so that it helps gain the effect of a propaganda model that focuses on inequality of wealth and power and its multilevel effects on mass-media interests and choices. Overall, I am intending to complete this by Friday.
I will be making a newspaper front cover using the software in design, and will be based on the easy jet cancellations in the news, involving hundreds of flights being cancelled this summer as it struggles with their promised schedule. Plenty of workers quit their easy jet job as they have to repay their redundancy pay, therefore they wont come back to the job, resulting in less workers for easy jet. I will be making a newspaper layout and be acting as if i was making it for the jersey public. It will have a full header, and sub headings stating the matter of easy jet cancellations similar to daily mail.
MASTHEAD: HEADING: EasyJet cancel several flights over summer holidays
BODY: Easy jet had announced more desires to cancel flights over the summer holidays, many passengers have experienced lots of delays and cancellation over recent weeks. They have confirmed there will flight cancellations across other airports across the easy jet network. It was expected to run 97% of the pre Covid flights booked in July and September but has been decreased to 90% as of now. Workers made the decisions to quit their job as majority had to repay their redundancies, therefore many employees rightly left and decided not to pay, causing a shortage in staff, unable to meet the demand.
