In this lesson i played around with fonts, i looked at fonts that would seem masculine and femanine. Masculine text i feel would represent the news as a whole where as femanine text, which is more modern and flowy i felt would represent more local happenings ans the 'nice stories'. My aim was to get a font inbetween so that my paper could reach all ages and genres. I finally settled on a font ''Vtks good luck for you'' and started playing around with colour, as you will find that news papers like the news and the sun have main colours throughout their papers, being red and blue. I thought about different colours and what they represent, green was a prominant idea of mine as i thought this would work well with the current ecological crises which is in the worlds media at present, but after some thought i felt that an eco news would not be as popular as a normal basic newspaper with bold colours and fonts. So for now settled on a bold black and will use other colours throught the paper to highlight key areas. The picture to the right is a screen shot of the font work i did, it can be enlarged to become clearer if you click on it.
