headline ideas-



This is my front cover so far of my newspaper:

The image on the front shows a grumpy looking man, stood next to bins that are full. I have decided to base this pictures story line where the council have changed the frequency and times of when the bins are emptied. The bins will be getting emptied every 3 weeks, compared to it being emptied once a week. I felt this storyline was striking and would be relevant to any readers in the area. I need to decide on some snappy headlines to match this story. my ideas are:
  • bins busted by council
  • bins go to bust as council change times
  • bins, full of rubbish
  • Our bin hell
I have made adjustments to the cover above and chosen a final headline i am happy with.



Compared to the front cover above, i have now added a story line title, added more text and advertisements. This is now looking more like a local news paper as it is realistic. I have given a brief description about the headlining story. I have added basic pastel colours to the page, after researching other local newspapers that showed light colours. I felt this would work well in mine. I have mixed bold text along with plain text, to make certain parts stand out and be intriguing to the eye as it looks attractive. After deciding on what headline i wanted, i finally decided that "Our bin hell" would work best. The "Our" gives the impression of including the readers and making them feel apart of story. This i think is important, especially as this is a local paper where most of the readers will be able to relate to the story as it will be happening from around their area.
