Questionnaire results:
These are the results for which newspaper front cover i should create:
The results show that over 60% of the people that I asked agreed that 'Idea 1' would be the best one to create for my front cover.
Some of the feedback I received told me that the audience prefer a more simple and structured front cover as it was more effective and eye catching, rather than one that had a lot of pictures and text around it. The audience also said how the title of the newspaper should be in a red fill as it would make it stand out against the plain background, and as red catches the eye straight away. Most of the feedback told me that I should design the page as I had made my idea look, but some of the improvements that I got told to do were to take away the small article at the top right of the page and put the 'money off' voucher there instead.
These are the results for which newspaper second page i should create:
The results show that over half of the people that I asked agreed that 'Idea 3' would be the best one to create for my second page.
With the feedback that I received it told me that the audience preferred my third idea as it was neat and ordered and the main article from the front cover was carried on the next page. There wasn't much that the audience told me to change, other than instead of having an advertisement next to the information and number for texting in news stories, it should be a picture linked to the information, such as a phone or a person texting in to the number.
These are the results for which newspaper billboard i should create:
The results show that 46.67% of the people that I asked agreed that 'Idea 1' would be the best one to create for my billboard.
With the feedback that I received from the questionnaire the audience preferred Idea 1 as it was a simple billboard but still had enough for it to advertise the newspaper clearly and make it stand out. The only thing that could be improved with it is if the headline that would of been featuring on the right side of the billboard was changed to a slogan instead.
These are the results for which newspaper website page i should create:
The results show that over 46% of the people that I asked agreed that 'Idea 1' would be the best one to create for my newspaper website home page.
Billboard questionnaire:
This is my questionnaire that I have created to find out what people think about my initial ideas for my billboards. There are the 3 options to tick to say which idea they preferred and then there is a part to give feedback on why they preferred it, and also a part where I can be told if any improvements are need so that I can take these on board when it comes to making my final product.
I will hand out 15 of them to random people of various age groups as my newspaper will be for all ages, I will then put the results together and see what people think, then I will be able to choose what style of newspaper I should create and if there are any changes that the audience think should be made.
Newspaper billboard, initial ideas:
This is my first idea, it is a very simple billboard that has one picture covering the background, the picture will be linked with the headline, and the newspaper website address will be in a large and bold font across the bottom of the billboard so that it is visible and easy to read but does not attract too much attention away from the headline.
This is my second idea, it is challenging the stereotypical conventions of a normal newspaper billboard by having the title of the newspaper on the top right hand side, instead of being on the top left. The whole of the background is covered by a picture that is to do with what the major headline is about.
This is my third idea, the whole billboard is advertising the newspapers number that you can text news stories in to. The background is of someone texting which has a small bit of information on top which would tell you the number you can text the stories to.
Newspaper questionnaire:
This is my questionnaire that I have made to see what people think of my newspaper designs. There are the 3 options to tick to say which idea they preferred and then there is a part to give feedback on why they preferred it, and also a part where I can be told if any improvements are need so that I can take these on board when it comes to making my final product. I will hand out 15 of them to random people of various age groups as my newspaper will be for all ages, I will then put the results together and see what people think, then I will be able to choose what style of newspaper I should create and if there are any changes that the audience think should be made.
Newspaper second page, initial ideas:
This is my first idea for the second page of my newspaper, it challenges the stereotypical conventions of a normal newspaper by having quite a busy looking page, including having three different advertisements on it which are all on the left side. There's only one picture on the page which is related to the article below it. The articles on this page are likely going to be related to the ones started on the front cover. The address for the website is also included as most people have some way of connecting to the internet and so would find it easier to access the newspaper from online. There is the weather for the week on the right side as it would be useful for the audience.
This is my second idea, half of the page is filled by an article from the front cover that is continued on this page, which I have done to make the audience turn into the newspaper to carry on reading, above this headline and article there is a picture that will relate to the story. There's only one advertisement on the page and it will be advertising something from around the local area. Two more articles will also feature on the page but they will only be small stories.
This is my third idea, it includes the address for the website as most people have some way of connecting to the internet and so would find it easier to access the newspaper from online. An article from the front cover is continued on this page which will make the audience turn into the newspaper to carry on reading. There's two advertisements on the page that will be advertising something from around the local area.
Newspaper front covers, initial ideas:
This is my first idea, it has one main picture which covers most of the central area and has its headline over the top of the picture, on the bottom right corner there will be the start of that article that then will continue within the newspaper. The newspaper title will be in a bold, white font so that it will stand out and be clear to read, the fill colour will be in red so that it draws attention and catches the eye of the audience. There will be an advertisement for money off of the newspaper as this is a marketing technique that is used to draw the audition in as they will be saving money when buying this newspaper. On the left hand side there will be a small picture with a headline underneath, the article then starts and finishes within the newspaper. I have decided to start articles on the front cover which continue inside of the newspaper as it makes the audience more interested in buying it as they will want to find out more about the headlines and what happens next.
This is my second idea, the whole of the front page is just one main picture with the headline covering it on the side and a small area where the article is started, it then continues on another page inside of the newspaper as this will make the audience want to buy it because they will be interested by the headline and start of the article, so will then want to find out by reading inside what then happens. 'EXCLUSIVE' will be in a large, bold, black font on a red background, this catches the eye and draws in attention, it also symbolises excitement and power which are the feelings that will be triggered for the audience from reading it. The newspaper title will also be in red on a black background as this will make it stand out.
This is my third idea, it has quite a lot of different things going on on one page. The picture covers the middle of the page, it challenges the stereotypical conventions of a typical newspaper by having the article started at the top right of the picture, and the headline covering the bottom of the picture. The article starts on the front cover and continues inside of the newspaper as it makes the audience more interested in buying it as they will want to find out more about the headline and what happens next; this is also the same for the two small articles that are started at the bottom of the page. There is a coupon on the top right of the page so it will attract people into wanting to buy it, as it means they would be saving money. The newspaper title will be in a bold, white font on a red background so it will stand out, draw attention to it and catch the eye of the audience.
