Newspaper Cover, Final Design

Final newspaper front cover

After making another questionnaire about my final newspaper from cover I discovered that the majority of the answers and feedback told me that I should add a picture in with the main headline to give it more of an effect. I chose to take a picture of a damaged car and used that as the picture. This is now my final design for my newspaper:



For the coupon on the front cover of my newspaper I made sure that it was plain but so that it still stood out on the page. I made it so that it was white as it is clear to see on the red background of the newspaper. The lettering is in STENCIL STD as it is quite a unique font and grabs attention.


To get my main front cover picture, I took a picture of a car that had been smashed in to. I put the picture on to Adobe Photoshop so that I could edit it a bit to make it fit in with my front page. I used the 'burn tool' around the edge of the car so that it became darker and looked like the whole of the background was black, I then saved it and out it on to the cover, because the background of my page is black it looks like the car was the only part of the picture instead of it having a background. I have done this as it gives the effect of looking very professional and it becomes the main focus as there is no longer nothing else in the picture that would be distracting.
