Technologies for Reasearch;
Using the internet for my research was the most effective method to look at a variety of local newspaper front covers, second pages, posters and another website that are already established. I analysed these and using the software Microsoft Publisher converted tem to JPEG files and uploaded to blogger.
Also when analysing website online I used the featurea available to see how they worked as active websites, following hyperlinks etc.
Technologies for Construction;
When creating my initial idea, I used Microsoft Word, Then Copied my designs to Publisher and then completed the same process, Saving as a JPEG and Uploading to Blogger.
I Used Adobe Photoshop to create my local newspaper front cover, second page and poster, I used this software in my foundation portfolio, Although developed and fine tuned my skills to make my newspaper to be more professional than my foundation portfolio. I used the software Adobe Dreamweaver to create my Two Hyperlinked Webpages, I used this software to create basic pages in previous courses but never for a serious page, so wasnt a new experience but had never used the software properly before.
I had never used a blog website like Blogger before, This was a new experience which I mastered through trial and error.
Technologies for Evaluation;
I wrote my evaluation on the blogger site itself, I used the availability to enlarge my work that is available on the site to help evaluate my work to see how it looked etc. I then posted my evaluation.

Evaluation: What Have You Learned From your Audience Feedback.
After completing my products, I did some audience feedback. I asked 13 random people from Swanley's local community what there first opinion of my local newspaper front cover, second page, poster and two hyper linked pages. A large majority of the consumers I asked said that my newspaper front cover could easily fit in on sale within Swanley and they also would be happy to accept and read it, if delivered through their front doors. Most of the people asked, said that they felt that Swanley had lacked a local newspaper solely dedicated to there community and thought it was a great idea, this suggests that the newspaper would thrive and be very successful if published and distributed. Some local residents asked rarely looked at local newspaper websites although felt that the website, looked easy to use and completed its job efficiently, if I could add anything, I would perhaps add an advertisement within the newspaper itself to make people aware that the webpage is available and there for them. When looking at the second page the audience commented that the advertisements were slightly large although said that it did not effect the ability to read and understand the newspaper. Finally, when looking at the local newspaper poster was said to be very similar in the features to other and national, which is what i aimed to achieve, also it did catch peoples eye apart from it lacked colour. Colour could be introduced in future developments.
Evaluation: How Effective is The Combination of Your Main Product and Ancillary Tasks.
The use of combining the main products and ancillary tasks is very effective. The local newspaper front cover and second page are the main part of any newspapers, being distributed throughout the bulk of the community, although a selection of people would rather look at the paper in a more interactive method, for example people who regularly commute, and would rather view the Emagazine on smartphones, laptops or tablet computers, or to attract to the younger generation who use technology rather than the conventional newspaper.
All of these though use the same template defining the newspaper and making it recognisable to the possible consumer/audience.
I feel this combination is very effective.

I feel this combination is very effective.
Evaluation: In What Way Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms and Conventions of Local Newspapers.
When designing and creating my Local Newspaper, Second Page, Poster and Two Hyper linked Web pages, I tried not to directly challenge the forms and conventions already established and recognized.
With my Front Cover I attempted to keep as many of the forms and conventions that I analysed from my research into local newspaper front covers, I analysed variety of front covers, as some may use some conventions and not others as well as developing some to make there own unique. My Front Cover uses several well recognized conventions, these include a masterhead, this was for several reasons mainly as it helped create an identity for my local newspaper similar with a large majority of other local and national papers including the title and generally logo's but this was one way I did challenge the conventions by choosing not to use a logo, instead the name of the newspaper is unique to the town almost making it a logo itself. I used alot of images throughout my front page, Using the forms and conventions I used alot of mid-shot images. Some smaller conventions that still are very important include date, price, edition number. Another of the largest forms and conventions are advertisements, I used these on my front cover, advertising local businesses, for several reasons, to attract the local population as it links with them as well as acting as a form of income for the paper.
For my second page, I also tried to keep all the forms and conevntions as much as I could, and I feel I succeeded, continuing articles from the front page as well as supporting them with other mid-shot images as I found was a convention when I completed my analysis of other second pages. Also I continued to add advertisments onto the second page as I found was common with other newspapers and throughout local newspapers as a whole.
For my local newspaper's poster I slightly challenged the forms and conventions I established from my analysis and research into other local newspapers posters, I chose not to include images. Although some newspapers also do this, And some do not and some vary from story to story if it is nessesary or not. I aimed for a simplistic layout, structure and content, This is in keeping with the forms and conventions to keep it simple, as well as using just one or two large headlines to catch the consumers eye and attract them to read more within the newspaper.
With the Two Hyper linked Web pages for my local newspaper, I feel that there are some very important forms and conventions nessesary to create an efficient website that is appropiate and some that are more optional. I feel I didnt challenge these including all the major forms and conevntions I established, including a common masterhead, used throughout the webpage for consitancy and to help create an identidy, large mid-shot images, advertisments, some of which are interactive due to the availability of features online, Links to other pages. Also I included the date and time at the top, some local newspaper use this to make the webpage more unique to a certain area.
Overall I feel that I followed the major forms and conevntions without challenging them, although maybe developed them in certain places to make all my final products as good as they could be as well as meeting the brief as much as they could.

Final Local Newspaper Front Page.
This is My Local Newspaper Front Cover, Complete with a few additions to the final design, which I discovered through the creation process. These additions were the adding of an extra advertisement, this was due to the reality of the space available on the page and if I had not added this I feel that that the Front Page would not have appeared as professional as I had aimed for. Also small additions to the images such as a brief explanation linking them to the text was added although not in my final designs, This assists the article by supporting it and linking them together. Altogther I feel that this local newspaper front cover has been an overall success, I feel i created a very professional local newspaper which could easily be published and distributed to Swanleys local community which was my overall goal!
Final Local Newspaper Second Page.
This is my completed second page for my new local newspaper, I feel that creating this page was slightly more difficult than creating the front page, This was mainly down too the arangement and space available on the page and the amount I hoped to include on the page. In the end I successfully fitted all of the information, images and advertisements I wanted too on the page. I created the two advertisements with no issue using my own images and editing them appropiatley. With This page although the diffucluties I encountered were hard to overcome and I close to altering my design I still feel this was a success and is completed to a professional standard, which could be published and distibuted along side my Local Newspaper Front Cover.
Final Local Newspaper Poster.
This is my completed Poster advertising my local newspaper, The area I targeted is a area local for me, a local Town. I decided when creating my final design to keep my poster simplistic which I feel I have achieved this avoiding the use of images and just including the 'bare mininium' including a border, Footer with a website address and date. Although creating this poster did pose alot of problems the outline was the most majour as I had planned in my Final designs that a curved rectangle around the footer, Headlines and Title although I was unable to do so, And so instead used a square corner. As well as this I also decided to only use it around the main headlines. This overall I think helped the simplistic approach I feel I achieved.
Theories.
Desensitization
This theory is based around the concept of social change and how regular exposure to certain incidents, makes them acceptable within our lives and society. For example more violence people are exposed too through the media, such as throughout the world in areas of warfare as well as terrorism, and now a lot of games are influenced by warfare and extreme violence as it not as shocking and children are exposed to these from young ages. I don not feel there is a direct link to my articles although alot of information published through the media is only accepted now due to the fact a large majority of audiences are desensitized.
David Gaunlett
Gaunlett introduced the theory of Web 2.0, this is suggests there is no boundary between the creator of a media product and the audience, an example of this is the interaction between the audience, by commenting on things this is now introduced on sites such as on social networking and other media sites. This will be used on my local newspaper website, by the introduction of the commenting system on posts, this is an interactive feature that may increase use of the website, triggering debates and actively encouraging this. This may also result in a more effective/efficient system with more information related to a story being brought in directly and quicker. Although a down side is that this could trigger negative conservation/arguments as well as information being noted incorrectly or that would turn out to be rumors or lies.
Representation in my Local Newspaper.
All article written for most things including national and local newspaper, as well as magazines , which I looked at in my AS Coursework, represent people in different ways.
For example looking at the local newspaper I have analysed I feel that local newspaper are more likely to be read by house owners, rather than younger children and teenagers. Articles within the newspapers are targeted more toward adult audiences such as weather, traffic or local issues, rather than issues interesting and attracting younger people to read there local newspapers such as local sports activities and other events for this age group. I think that within my local newspaper front cover, second page and hyperlinked WebPages I will also target the adult home owner age groups from 21+. Furthermore certain age groups can be discriminated through local newspaper media, such as stereotypes such as ‘Young Hooligans’ and ‘Old Grouch’ , I will challenge these stereotypes portraying all age groups as evenly as possible.
Furthermore, Ethnicity is another method of representation with local newspapers; I will not specifically be targeting any specific ethnicity. I will portray all groups equally this way hopefully challenging stereotypes attached to certain ethnic groups presented previously in the media.

Audience Research.
For my audience research i used a variety of Quantitative and Qualitative questions presented through a Questionnaire as I felt that this would be the most effective method to gather the variety of answers through open and closed questions. This is an example of my questionnaire, I handed out ten in total to five male and five female consumers.
Other;
My Results where;
Local newspapers generally contain alot of images and text therefore not as attractive to the younger audiences although some do contain pages including sport from the local area.

Thank You for your time and completing this Questionnaire!
The ten questionnaires were spit 50/50 between male and female. I found that alot of the younger recipients between 11-20 and 21-30, preferred to read tabloid newspapers for 'Celeb' news and interested in following sports whereas older generations 31-40 and 50+, preferred to read more intellectual newspaper, rather than looking for newspapers based around 'Celeb' News and 'Gossip and Sport'
Also I found that a large majoutity of all age groups and genders chose to read the same newspapers through either habit or the regular content. Furthermore most said that images should be used to support text and that the front page should be holding the main headline of the newspaper and large images to attract the initial audience and then entice them in.
Looking at my research, I will target all people within the community although the content will mainly target both genders although an older age group 21+.
Local Poster Final Idea.
I analysed and cobined all my inital ideas to create the most effective final idea that most suited the forms and conventions, and best applied to suit my newspaper and my newspapers appearance. Also I tried to keep it simplistic too fit in with the newspapers posters already in circulation today. Some posters choose to use images to support there stories, although I did not as I wantedto keep the poster as simplistic as possible and keep all images for the actual story.
Local Poster Initial Idea Adapted.
For this Idea i adapted several ideas I had created in my other inital ideas to see if I could make a design that looked better. I still included all the forms and conevntions I needed.
Local Poster Initial Idea Four.
This was my Fourth Initial Idea, I kept all the vital forms and conventions that are nessesary within a local newspaper.
Local Poster Initial Idea Three.
This is my third initial idea, I continued to use the concept I wanted but also included all the forms and conventions nessesary.
Local Poster Initial Idea Two.
For my second initial idea I continued my idea of simplisity in this, as well not using images and using the forms and conventions i analysed from already established local newspapers posters, including an identifiable masterhead, website address, date, main headline and a logo.
Local Poster Initial Idea One.
This was my first attempt, at creating an initial idea for my local newspaper poster, I decided to keep my poster simplistic, as I had found that some newspapers chose to, avoiding clutter, and some not even using images.

Summary of Hyperlinked Webpages Analysis.
The main forms and conventions, of Hyperlinked Webpages are;
As a whole local newspaper webpages are very profesional and formal very simular to the newspaper themselves.

- Generally a Logo;
- Alot of mid-shot images both in the support of text and used in other ways;
- A variety of articles, sport, news etc....;
- Alot of various local advertisments;
- And other smaller ones including options to share via Social networking etc;
- Option to comment etc.
As a whole local newspaper webpages are very profesional and formal very simular to the newspaper themselves.
Final Idea for Hyperlinked Pages.
These are my final designs for my Two hyperlinked pages. I took all my initial ideas and analysis into consideration to make the most effective pages possible and so they would easily fit in with the local newspaper website already established. I also included two rough ideas of what the webpage should look like apart from the articles, images and advertisments this helped me to finalise layout so that it would look as good as it possibly could.
Initial Idea for Hyperlinked Webpage Four.
This was my fourth Initial Idea, The front page (Top) I think I will base my final design and idea on as I feel that it most fulfills all my criteria, as well as including all the forms and conventions needed to make this webpage fit in with all the majority. I similarly altered the second page continuing to keep all the forms and conventions.
Initial Idea for Hyperlinked Webpage Three.
This is my third attempt at creating the two interactive webpages for my new local newspaper. the second page I felt was nearly as good as it could be, So I just played around with the layout and structure of the page to see in my opinion what looked the best and most effective. I also included all the major forms and conventions as with all my other initial ideas.
Initial Idea for Hyperlinked Webpage Two.
This, my second attempt resulted in me slightly changing my original, initial idea as I felt that was already a good attempt including all the aspects I wanted to. Although the major differences are the layout, I attempted to rearrange the content there was, although keeping the major forms and conventions, including the advertisements, masterhead, mid-shot images and others.
Initial Idea for Hyperlinked Webpage One.
This is my first Initial Idea for the Two active online hyper linked pages for my local newspapers website. I attempted to create an effective website that was practical, efficient and fitted in with the already established forms and conventions from the websites I analysed. My first page is at the top and is designed as a home page for the local newspaper website, I included the masterhead which will contain the name of the local newspaper, 'Swanley Times', as well as the links, internal and external to the website such as Home, Sport etc. Also I included the concept of Web 2.0, offering the feature to comment on stories to offer opinion, trigger debate etc. The most common feature I included was the advertisements, these are just as vital if not more on the website when compared to the Newspaper front cover, poster or other pages, mainly because of the interactive features available.
Ancillary Task: Analysis of Two Hyper linked Pages Five.
Through this analysis I aimed to have identified and established the forms and conventions of the Homepage of a local newspapers website. I found that they hold very similar forms and convention apart from offering interactive features such as moving adverts, videos and links.
I found also similar forms and conventions between the second page of newspapers and the website counterpart, apart from interactive features found that advertisements, Large print, Headline and images are dominant on these pages.

Final Idea For Second Page of My Local Newspaper.
These are my final designs for the second page of my local newspaper. I combined as many forms as conventions that would make this newspaper look as professional and realistic as possible! Also I combined an idea of what the final piece should look like. Through using the forms and conventions I feel that my local newspaper will meet all its requirements.
Initial Idea for Local Newspaper Second Page Four.
This was my Fourth and final Initial Idea for the second page of my local newspaper, I chose not to do anymore as I felt this was the closest to fitting in with the forms and conventions I analysed, For example the page is very bust holding three advertisements, Four articles with only the main article supported by images and the Website, Name and Page number at the bottom, which i included in all my initial ideas, I feel this is the most realistic initial idea and will develop for my final design.
Initial Idea for Local Newspaper Second Page Three.
This was my third Initial Idea for the second page of my local newspaper, I chose have a lot of information on this page replacing the advertisement with a third article, although felt both this article and the second should be supported by images, unlike my previous initial idea, I also reduced the page wide main article to fit two smaller articles on the far left side, therefore keeping a lot of the forms and conventions I discovered through analysis.
Initial Idea for Local Newspaper Second Page Two.
In my second idea, I kept the basic vital forms and conventions analysed and included in my first Initial Idea, although they have been rearranged into a more simplistic layout. I chose to keep the single large advertisement near the bottom of the page as well as keeping the Website Address, Newspaper Name and Page Number. Although I made the main article page wide keeping the two images to support it as well as keeping the main headline larger and separate, as well as moving the second article below and page wide and didn't use any image to support it, as this may be a different type of article not needing an image.
Initial Idea for Local Newspaper Second Page One.
This was my first attempt at creating a newspaper second page, I attempted to include as many as the forms and conventions I analysed. On this my first attempt I included two articles, A main article, which was quite large, With a headline along with a brief description of the article. I used to layer images to support the text in the main article similar to forms and conventions of front pages of newspapers and magazines analysed in my AS coursework. The second article was smaller but also supported by an image. I used a single large advertisement at the bottom of the page to be used to display local businesses. the far bottom of the page will include a page number, website address and newspaper name for the newspapers advertisement.
Analysis of Local Newspaper Second Page Four & Five.
Simular to the analysis I conducted on Local Newspaper Front Pages, I was looking to understand and establish forms and conventions of pages within a newspaper, some are simular to my AS coursework and some are simular to Local Newspaper front covers. Looking at analysis of Magazines from my Foundation Portfolio I can identify that these second pages display simular forms and conventions to these.
Analysis of Local Newspaper Second Page Three.
Simular to the analysis I conducted on Local Newspaper Front Pages, I was looking to understand and establish forms and conventions of pages within a newspaper, some are simular to my AS coursework and some are simular to Local Newspaper front covers. Looking at analysis of Magazines from my Foundation Portfolio I can identify that these second pages display simular forms and conventions to these.
