Newspaper Article - Epic Times

Me and Georgina Simpson created our own Newspaper article. We chose to do a story about Lolcatz and Loldogz. We looked at various newspapers to find out what the general layout for newspapers was. We then thought of a title for our newspaper and came up with Epic Times. We then drew out a rough layout for our newspaper that included ad placements.

We then created the layout on indesign and started to create our title. We then wrote out our story and created our "Loldog" picture by getting a picture of my dog that I had taken and adding a funny caption. We then added some more adverts at the bottom and then some pictures explaining what would be inside of the Newspaper. We then also added a smaller story near the end of the front page about "Haggis Flu"

We learned the basic layout of Newspapers and colour schemes. Also about how you quickly have to grab the audiences attention within 3 seconds, so short, snappy and easy to read headlines are a must.
