Radio Advert

My radio advert is a load of sound effect from waking up in the morning. It starts with birds singing, the alarm going off and a girl yawning and then carries on from her process to gradually getting down stairs to finally read MYBROMLEY when there is a sigh of relief. I think my radio advert relates well to my poster so that the newspaper and adverts can be easily recognised together. I think that my radio advert went well as it is quite interesting and quite fun which will hopefully attract my target audience.

Newspaper Poster

This is my poster to advertise my newspaper. I have chosen to stick with my blue and red theme and the same font as the masthead so the paper is recognisable.

The poster is a type of optical illusion as the time '6:30 am' is hard to see, this is to show the feeling of how hard it is to concentrate and get up in the morning which most of our target audience have to do to go to school, college or work.

The font at the bottom is on a white background to make it clear and stand out and it says 'school? college? work?' which straight away attracts anyone that goes to these or that are students.

I feel that this is a very successful poster as it is appealing to the audience and relates well to my newspaper.

Class mates feedback

We printed off our newspaper and let our classmates comment and criticise to help us improve it to make it look more professional and appealing. From this feedback we found small things that we could change for our final draft to make it look better, for example we found the gutter spaces where to big and made the paper look bare so we made them smaller however we then found the stories looked to short. So we made them longer and added bigger font quotes through out the story.

Progress Print Screens (second page)

This is the progress of our second page, we chose to carry on with the red and blue theme for our sub-masthead. We put the weather on this page for Bromley as people will always want to know what the weather is going to be like. We chose to have cartoon weather pictures to make it look more 'fun' to attract teenagers.

We then added a small photo to our secondary story of one of the boys from the school trip, it is only small but breaks up the amount of text so it doesn't look like too much effort to read as teenagers would get bored.

We then added more adverts, including driving lessons (as our target audience will be thinking about starting to drive and may find this helpful) and also a website where people can give their opinions to earn money, which sounds perfect for a teenager.

We added the main photos at the end, the one on the left is of an upcoming singer that will interest teens and the other is the secondary main picture of the group of winning students.

Progress Print Screens (First Page)

This is the progress of my newspaper, we started by putting the main story in and the headline. We chose a font called Franchise which we uploaded from the internet. We chose this font because it is a bit more 'funky' than the average newspaper headline. Therefore will hopefully attract the younger generation.

We then added adverts to the newspaper. The adverts we made are shops and deals that are in the community. They also are aimed at teenagers. For example, we have included 20% discount for HMV as teenagers are very interested in music and films which they can buy from here, in there local area.

We then added the main picture which shows the boxer winning his match. It is a very large picture and takes up a lot of room, this will hopefully attract the audience as it is easy to see and the boy is around the ages of our target audience.

Second Story

Eleven Sixth form students from Ravenswood School in Bromley were lucky enough to bag themselves a once in a lifetime trip to Paris. The students won the trip after their short alternative film was selected to be shown at the 9th edition of the Paris Cinema International film festival 2011. The students wrote, directed, produced and starred in their winning film.
For seven years now, the city of Paris, the world capital of cinema, has been offering the audience and the professionals a modern, dynamic, creative international film festival. With a growing attendance every year (over 75,000 festival-goers in 2010) the students film will surely be a huge success. The students had a brilliant time and were able to see all of the attractions available in Paris.The winner of the festival will be announced on July 3rd, we wish the students the best of luck!

This is our secondary story, in our newspaper we want to notice teenagers success in the community so it is about a group of students who were lucky enough to win a trip to Paris. Once again this story involves the community and the teenagers.
