This is the first layout i decided on for the front page of my newspaper.

I took inspiration from 'The Portsmouth News' in order to come up with this layout as i think that it is a very stereotypical layout for a contemporary local newspaper.

I am going to keep the top half of my final layout pretty similar to this as i think that it works well and that it presents a ver professional look to the customer.

However i am going to change the lower portion slightly by adding in more pictures and banners showing information about what else is inside the paper.
