Now I have began to use some of the images which i have taken, while still experimenting with colours and layouts for the newspaper.

I have also used placeholder text, a tool on InDesign that allows you to fill a text box with text to give an example. This gives me an idea of what the cover will look like once I have the stories written. At the moment I am using three very large columns, but this is likely to change as this is not a convention of a local newspaper and makes the front cover difficult to read as it essay-like and looks unprofessional.
