Masthead Experiment

Here I have experimented with a formal traditional font and used an Osprey picking up a newspaper as my logo in the background. The only problem I have with this is the colour and the arrangement of the newspaper.

Main areas

Orange- Main attraction
Yellow- Helping the community
Purple- Getting involved
Green- Article placement

This colour code should be helpful to identifying my websites main aspects

Final mock up of website

Here I have started to design the main features of my website such as the arrangement of different tabs and articles. I have looked at a variety of different local newspaper website and added important factors such as the cross references and search tools.

This is the final outcome of my website mock up. I have added new things such as the top stories list and local community changes to notify residence.
