For my chosen coursework I am going to create a front page and double-page spread reporting about the recent war crimes and news about the invasion of Ukraine. This will be aimed towards all ages who are interested in learning about the current situation going on in Ukraine and Russia. Since the end of February Ukraine has been under invasion by Russia where many people have been killed so I will make this my main story. I can try to link my work to different theorists and theories from people such as, Jurgen Habermas, Jean Seaton and James Curren which can all be linked towards the production of a newspaper. The company name of the newspaper will be ‘Ukraine Star’ to display to the audience where the newspaper is located. My main headline is going to be related to the story of the Russians leaving snake island, with other headline ideas being the incident in Donetsk and invasion of Kremenchuk mall.

Also, for my promotional flyers I am going to raise awareness towards the invasion of Ukraine by displaying a lot of information and advice. I will include 3 or more images which will appeal to my target audience and create the appropriate layout for a classic flyer layout. I will make the main colours of the flyers to do with the flag of Ukraine being the colours blue and yellow. I will also try include some features from a newspaper such as, captions, headline and quotes. I will follow style models to give me inspiration when creating my flyer to make sure they are the best quality possible.

For my layout and features throughout the paper I am going to include, title, masthead, date, headline, by-line, 6-8 images (spread throughout all 3 pages). I will layout my newspaper in a similar way as Kyiv Post which is a newspaper based in the main area of invasion, Kyiv. My double page spread will include other headlines to do with the Ukraine invasion to keep the same theme throughout the pages.

Overall, the paper will include many columns of information about the invasion and images displaying the situation. I will follow the inverted pyramid structure when creating my newspaper to try and make the best outcome possible. If I need to edit anything I will do this in Adobe Photoshop to create any key elements needed but my main editing software being Adobe InDesign to create the newspaper.
