Daily Mail front cover evaluation



The task we were assigned was that we had to make a newspaper front cover that would mock the Daily Mail because we would have to find a template from a real Daily Mail cover and then replace the pictures and headlines with our own custom ones that we have made.

We used publisher to complete the task because we were able to present it on a A3 sheet

Some of the tools that we used was the crop tool, shaping tool and the colour tool so that my newspaper template looked like the actual thing.

The biggest obstacle of the making the daily mail front cover was adjusting the pictures and text so that it fit in the box that was required because if we went over when we would print it would be removed.

The reason i chose these headings is because deep fried chicken causing salmonella use to be a headline it was something that The Daily Mail has already covered it meaning i could use quotes from them as an example.

The initial feedback that was given about my template was that the font that i was using for the main headline didn't match with The Daily Mails font so you could tell it was fake.

What went well was that the picture and the article on the right hand side of the picture looked like they were real like they were actually being presented by The Daily Mail themselves and that they were just a template.
