Other elements.

With all of this done, our first front cover was nearly completed, there was only a few things left to do.

We hadnt dont the bar at the top of the newspaper that contained the date, price and website of the newspaper.

The date we decided to make it the following monday after Bob Watkin's had retired which is the 27th of july. We looked at the way dates were aranged on newspapers that we had looked at and decided to arange our date like, 27th Jully 2009.

With the website we just made up our own which was http://www.portisheadbeacon.co.uk/.

We looked at prices of other newspapers and they ranged between 37p and 50p so we thought considerin as ours was just based around the town of portishead we would make it a bit cheaper and price it at 35p.


To put all of this information on the front of the newspaper and make it look neat, we decided to do it on a banner going across the top of the newspaper. We made the banner a navy colour that matched the title of the newspaper.



The font that we used on this banner was just a standard microsoft publisher font. We chose this one as it was clear to read and wasnt to fancy.



There was one final thing left to do and that was to put the piece of writing beneath the pictures on the front page. We looked at the sort of things that they write on newspapers and they just write about the person in the picture. So we decided to write
"Devastated teacher Mr Watkins at entrance of Gordano School where his own possessions got taken"
