Weather & Tides and Contents Section Design

The next part I needed to create was the weather and tides section to go on the second page of my newspaper. I would need to draw some sort of image to make this section more interesting to look at.

So the first thing I decided to do was to set out my contents conventioanlly and clearly. I used to photoshop to do this. The contents section is shown below:



I decided to make a clear title for each segment, as it would make it clear for readers to tell aprt the sections. I used the font Arial Black for the title as it stands out well, and chose a blue shade to colour it to make the paper more attractive. The main other font is arial and I used black colouring so it was very clear and easy to read. I wanted the contents to be easy to use so I made this section very clean and spaced out well. I wanted to attract more attention to this part of the paper so I used an image I had taken to reflect one of the articles in the paper.

The next section I designed was the weather section, which I also designed in photoshop. It is shown below:



To achieve this, I used the same font for the titling to create a conventional look to make it attractive and then drew a simple cloud in photoshop to represent the type of weather, I then titled each day accordingly using arial font and then gave the weather forecast next to the image, I thought this made it a very clear diagram. Then at the bottom I added the tides in arial narrow font, to make it clear that it was set slightly apart from the weather. I think this layout makes it look more professional.


I then combined all these different sections to make one image to put on my newspaper.
