Lambeth Press newspaper's inside page.

I used both Adobe InDesign and Photoshop to make the page. Both program was suitable as it enabled me to do a lot of things such as to add and rearrange texts and pictures, make shapes and lines, rotate texts and amend photographs.

This is going to be my inside page of my local newspaper. As you can see I made sure that I kept the light blue color scheme. I added necessary information on the top of the page such as the date, page number, website address and most especially Lambeth's Press logo to be able to inform the readers on what page they are on, which newspaper are they reading and other additional information regarding the newspaper. 

The main article here on the first page is a continuation from one of the headlines on the sidebar of the newspaper's front page. I chose this article because I wanted to make a positive approach to the readers as most of the article in a normal newspaper contains mostly negative news. As Lambeth Press is a local newspaper,  I decided to balance the negative news with positive ones and informative information about the Borough of Lambeth. I added a photograph so that readers can have more feel with the article.  I didn't edit the photo in terms of lighting, contrast or changing the background because I felt that it already looks good as it is and I kept the background to give a more natural feel to the readers.  When I was in the process of doing this, I spotted that there was a big gap on the side of the page so I decided to add the logo for the clothing line that Sean ( guy in the article) is producing. I did the logo using Photoshop, the program was good because it  offered different varieties of font styles as well as colors. I added a black line after the article to inform the readers that it's finished and also this separates it from the other articles. 

Again, I added a sidebar because when I was doing my research, quite a lot of newspaper does this even on the first page, so I then decided to follow this convention.  The two article headlines are juxtaposed with each other because the top one is a positive article whilst the bottom one is a negative one which is about drugs, jail and crimes. 

I am aware that in newspapers there are usually loads of advertisements as the company gets money for this. So I dedicated a lot of space for the ads on my newspaper.  I originally made these ads individually using Photoshop. The program was excellent because it enable me to do a lot of things such as make lines, choose different font styles and size, rotate texts and create shapes such as stars as you can see on advertisement at the bottom of the page. It also enable me to amend the photograph that I originally took. I took the picture at night time, so the setting was dark and the house was not so visible, I then adjusted the brightness and contrast of the photo to make it look better so that readers can have a better view of the house.
