Creating the front page and inside page of the Haverhill Gazette:

From having completed all of my research, I will now be applying this to create my 'Haverhill Gazette' Newspaper front page and inside page.
To do this, I will be using the software 'InDesign' - where this allows me to create the templates and design of the Newspaper pages.
From using this software I hope to gain experience when dealing with different convention types - where fonts, language, colour and shape all need to be considered carefully.
I will also be experimenting with Photoshop elements, so that I can edit my photographs to a standard that blends well with my Newspaper and its theme.
