Wednesday 3rd March Research

I have been researching different ways to help with the layout of our newspaper. I have found many websites offering useful information but so far the best I have discovered is 'Layout Executive'. It is a website that offers free newspaper layout designs and is definitely worth looking into. Link below:

The Telegraph (Saturday)

In the image below the paper has been divided so that in this spread 50% (the entire bottom half) has been dedicated to advertisements. Our group should take into account the spacing and quantity of paragraphs as well.

The page below is solely text, but with a single centralised image. Our brief has said that our paper has to be visually interesting, so if we are going to have a layout similar to this there may have to be more room for pictures/diagrams.

The property and money sections are both visually interesting and have a good use of colour, but contain very little information on their front sections.
