Production Newspaper

We decided that we use a layout like the one above and this was would be our planned layout. We had also decided on the Main Headline which would be about a young local tennis star qualifying for Wimbledon. We would go down to the local tennis club and take some pictures of our chosen person in a tennis outfit and with a tennis racket. The Headline would be half interview and also half of an informative piece.

We decided to change our tennis idea and decided to go with a more serious story. We decided to go with a Kidnap story. We found a picture of a friend of ours and used it as the main picture on the front page. We also came up with ideas for a secondary story on the front page and also another big story on the second page. We had a few general idea's, we decided it would be quite a big story if a immigrant committed a serious crime. We also decided that we would use a smaller story on the front page and that it would be about grave robbery. We decided to use that story because it was quite an eye catching story and rare.

Here's what our main and secondary looked like when it was finished. It takes influences mainly from the Wigan Reporter, with the red and black colour scheme. We used a Kidnapping story and used a simple headline because we thought it would be more effective.

 We also took a picture of a graveyard from Orrell graveyard. We found a grave what looked slightly dug up so it fitted the story description.

We also decided that we would need to take pictures for our advertisements on both pages. We decided to include a competition on the front page, so we took a picture of some cash. We also created a logo for a local bakery on paint. We thought a logo would look more effective rather than a picture of some bread or a pie.

We also included a Local football score in the corner, we got this influence from other local newspapers which usually include a sprt related story on the front page.

We saw a lot of holiday advertisements in the local and national newspapers, so we decided that we would include a holiday advert on the second page. We used a picture from my Holiday to crotia of a luxury apartment. For the last advert we came up with the idea to advertise a adverture farm for children. We went to a local farm and took a picture of some horses that were on show.

Here are the advertisements used on the second page of our newspaper. Fun Farm and Wigan travel. We feel that these advertisements look realistic.

We decided to develop a story on a Polish rapist, we decided that this would be a controversial story. We took a picture of Ryan and portrayed him as the rapist. 

We then put all of these Story's and advertisements together to produce a final product of Wigan World Newspaper. Here it is
