newspaper evaluation

1) What was the task you were given and who was your target audience? 
 the task was to create a Daily Mail front cover and my target audience was the c2 and d demographic 

2 What research did you undertake and what did you find were some of the typical conventions of a Daily Mail front cover - layout, types of stories, fonts
 I looked at  Daily Mail front covers on Google to get an idea of what templates and layouts they use on their front pages.The image on the front page of the Daily Mail often does not have anything to do with the main story they are running. They also seem to always include some sort of competition on their front page as well as at least 2 stories and also have tight spaces on their head lines use a specific fonts

3.) 

4) Which areas did you find most challenging?
4.) I found  it challenging finding the fonts removing the spaces and making the correct layout.


5) What was you initial feedback? What did others say about your production? How successful was do you think it is?
5.) Others said that my front cover was the best ever in the whole wide world and only wish theirs could be half as good as  mine

6) Identify what went well and with hindsight what you do to improve/do differently.
6.) I think replicated the layout of the Daily Mail front cover well, as well as making the headlines professional considering it was all made from scratch. However, i could have filled more of the space on the front cover with more text or images.

7) In the exam you will be analysing newspaper front covers. In producing this cover, are there any areas that you hadn't noticed before? What have you learnt from completing this task?   
7.) I didn't realize the amount of detailed information there is on a newspaper front cover as well as the different types of news that is advertised. Furthermore, other sorts of advertisements are used such as competitions.
