Final Design Draft

I felt this design presents my local newspaper in a professional and elegant design however, I feel that it’s quiet over crowded especially when I add other social

media information.

I decided to change the layout and add all social media information so I could completely understand the spacing and

colour balancing. As you can see the rock has changed because I used my own imagery. I played around with the layout and positioning however I still feel the design is too

over crowded.

With the previous design feeling to over crowded, I felt I could remove the rock, as the slogan represents our passion with

providing our readers with local news and concerns. I feel this design has a much more balance to it and less chaotic nature as the billboard isn’t completely filled however some social media

information is yet to be added.

I still felt there was something not right about the design and realised there was to much white canvas, and the wording was squashed

together the bottom still looking to busy for a newspaper billboard. I decided to bunch the images together so it created one. This meant

my page looked more clean and has greater similarities to other newspaper billboards (shown in previous posts).

Final Design Layout (5)

I added the other social media information, and in comparison to the other designs I didn’t include the links for each one because it meant there was to much wording. I shifted the ‘hashtag’ from below the masthead to right

so the social media section is together. This enabled me room for the website link, I stuck to the dark green writing as it creates a balance, with

it on the image on the left, in the centre with the masthead and the hashtag on the right. I am much happier with my design as it’s not over

crowded but provides all the information with a professional finish.
