Conversation with my group..

In our conversation we discussed what we would call our tabloid newspaper, we came up with many names but narrowed it down to just 5 by the end. We also decided which articles we would write to fill the pages.

5 possible titles for my page and newspaper..

My page:

1. Style at every age!
2. Be fashionable every day
3. Fashion for all ages
4. Styles for you!
5. Fashion for 30+

My favorite one is number 1, because it sounds good, and tells you what the article will be about, and would catch the attention of the readers.

Newspaper:

1. The City Press - Matt chose this
2. The Commuter - We all voted on this one
3. The Forum - I chose this
4. The Universal Voice - Gemma chose this
5. The National Voice - Sarah chose this

We each chose one that we thought was the best to put on this post because we all thought they were equally good and relevant.

Target audience for newspaper

For my newspapaer, my target audience will be mainly from 20 upwards. But my fashion page will be aimed mainly at like people that are slightly younger, than middle aged people.

Existing newspaper pages which cover the same topic which i am interested in creating..

This one has the main space dominated by a picture of a girl, with bold headlines to draw your attention and the actual pictures are in white circles to draw your attention and make you actually look at what they have to offer. Tabloid's style of writing is for 7 year olds, so this could be another reason for the lack of writing. 

This one has a big bold headline stating that 'Shop giant loses faith in Far East' this makes you want to actually read the article to see what they mean and its also dominates a large bit of the page, along with the picture of three girls dressed fashionably.

This one has bright colours to grab your attention and make you want what there is to offer, because they look so nice. Also, they use people that the dress looks really good on so that you think you'll look like that if you wore it. Also the main space is taken up by the pictures of the items. 

Newspaper Discussion

As a group we decided that we would each design and write a page, that would go in our newspaper, or two if we finished that early. I would write the fashion bit, Gemma doing the makeup, Sarah doing the Holiday stuff and Matt doing an article on films/ TV programmes. I liked what we are going to write about, because we all know what we want to do, we all decided too choose what we wanted to write about because that seemed like the best way.

The difference between these two, (The Sun being a Tabloid and The Daily Telegraph being a broadsheet) is that The Daily Telegraph is generally great deal more serious than those newspapers that are tabloids. Most tabloids release gossip stories about Celebrities and Football games, whilst the broadsheet shows stories about the Government and things that are more serious. Another difference is that the Sun looks a lot tackier than The Daily telegraph and also uses a lot of different language. Also, again with thee types of stories, there is usually a half naked girl or something informal on the front cover than the broadsheet which would usually have very formal language and headlines about the war in Afganistan or the government. 

Different Types of Newspapers

What is Broadsheet?
Broadsheet is the largest of the various newspaper formats and is characterized by long vertical pages (typically 22 inches / 559 millimetres or more). The term derives from types of popular prints usually just of a single sheet, sold on the streets and containing various types of material, from ballads to political satire. The first broadsheet newspaper was the Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. published in 1618.
Other common newspaper formats include the smaller Berliner and tabloid/compact formats.

What is Tabloid?
A tabloid is a newspaper with compact page size smaller than broadsheet. The term "tabloid journalism", which tends to emphasize topics such as sensational crime stories, astrology, and TV and celebrity gossip is commonly associated with tabloid sized newspapers, though some respected newspapers such as The Times are in tabloid format, and in the United Kingdom the size is used by nearly all local newspapers.
The tabloid newspaper format is particularly popular in the United Kingdom, where its page dimensions are roughly 430 × 280 mm (16.9 in × 11.0 in).
