Initial layout for the newspaper books

















1. Celebratory Newspaper Book: this will follow the same format as the original idea, being able to punch out the pieces to use such as a fly swot etc... However i have placed the uses in history order from old uses to modern ones, finishing with recycling and completing the back page with a glossy, bright coloured finish to represent modern technologies such as the blog. I am still unsure of the dimensions- tabloid/broadsheet/or bigger?? This book is somewhat celebrating the life of the newspaper and would be something you buy to keep and teasure.

















2. Kitchen/Garage Newspaper Book: This newspaper book will be part of the series. You will able buy it at a cheap price for either your garden or kitchen. Every household will need this particular book to create quick, easy and very cheap impliments to help them with day to day stuff, such as an emergency dustpan or an emergency garden kneeler... etc

















3. Kids Newspaper Book: This would be the third book of the series, a small childrens newspaper book with fun activites to keep kids occupied. The red sections will vary slightly each month. Such as the card making page will change depending on the time of year!


As i won't be able to produce the whole series of newspaper books. I will save a page in these newspaper books devoted to the promotion of the rest of the books in the series!

This is going to look fantastic Charlie. I can't wait to see it. Have you sorted out where you are going to print it? Is the budget steep?

Ah thanks! I'm really enjoying it at the mo altho the layout is guna be then next challenge and very time consuming!

I was actually looking at printing places yesterday online. There are quite a lot of individual newspaper printers around, but they seem to only do batches of prints starting at around 1000 copies which costs about £1500 depending on paper weight/size and the number of pages. I need to keep investigating and see whether normal printers are able to print on newspaper, which i would imagine is unlikely, or maybe a newspaper printers will do me a student deal etc!!!

If anyone knows of anywhere then let me know!!

Thanks, Charlie x

P.s who was this!?!?
