I've now made some changes to my newspaper front cover. While looking at various other local newspapers such as the news I realized that most newspapers have a margin around the outside around the edge and also how the bottom margin is slightly bigger than the top and also how the right hand margin is larger than the left hand margin so i needed to make sure i sized them right in order to make it look more professional and like an actual newspaper that could be sold in the shops, so on indesign i managed to add some margins on my newspaper quite easily although this meant i had to re-size everything on my newspaper and make the text, headlines and pictures smaller. I also decided that the headlines I have for the sub-stories didn't really make the picture and could be seen as mis-leading. For example the picture of a student wiping the board didn't seem like the student was on strike so i therefore changed the headline from 'student strikes' to 'highest college applicants ever' because i felt like it fitting the photograph better. I also had the same issue with the weather story about the snow. The headline for this was 'snow chaos' and when looking at the photograph there was no chaos at all and it looked like peaceful snow that wasn't really an issue so i changed the headline to 'The big freeze' to ensure that it matches the photo which it now does. On the showbiz section luckily the headline matched the photograph but it 'Pixie Portsmouth' doesn't really make sense, it doesn't explain why her name has been put next to the word Portsmouth and what she was doing there so i decided to change the headline to 'Pixie plays Portsmouth' to give the headline a bit more detail for the reader. I also decided to change the picture of Pixie Lott because I felt like it was a much better quality picture compared to the one that was put there originally.
