This is the draft for how I want my first page to look. Like
most local papers there is room for advertising local businesses and sections
that show that there is information about events that is crucial to a local
paper as it means that people can get involved with their community (which
again fuels the paper).
Getting the balance and symmetry correct on the front page
is important as it is what people form a first impression of your paper from.
The image is the main focus of the page as it is usually the most vibrant thing
on the page. This is why I have placed it in the centre, as this is usually
where we look first. The other sections have to be mirrored, so that the
balance is kept. For example the masthead and strip beneath it are equalled
with the advertisement at the bottom. The strip along the side is mirrored with
the space opposite it. Keeping it organised is also a sign of professionalism
and sets up a rough narrative - an order in which the paper should be looked
and read.
