Printing and placing

The papers...350 of them!

The paper being printed...

Possible front covers

Possible front page image-me as a reporter...how embarrassing!

Newspaper delivery bags have arrived...

The newspaper delivery bags have arrived, from a lovely company up in Lancashire called Bolmoor. Just need to send them off to get screen printed with the title of the newspaper on the front...

Newspaper delivery bag

For the show i will present the newspapers in a newspaper delivery bag and get someone (possibly a second yr) to hand them out to the people!

I've found a company that will do it, and for not very much money! The main man is calling me tomorrow to disscuss it, but it won't take too long to make and i will hopefully be able to have it in one of the show colours with the name of the newspaper on the front!

A sample of the spreads...

Here's an example of a couple of spreads so far, obviously not quite finished yet! I've done the basic layout (similar to these) of 52 out of 60 spreads.

Revised layout...but what do i call it????

This is the revisied layout for the main 'newspaper book' celebrating the newspaper/ the history of!

Two Issues to over come at the mo...

1. I wanted the back page bright red glossy to represent the modern world of blogging but this is virtually impossible. So do i design an insert done seperatly and slip it in the back??

2. What do i call the newspaper? I need a name that will represent the 'newspaper book', but as i'm no good with words i'm struggling! Help!!

The next three weeks are going to be spent designing it.

I think i've found a printer...

I have found a print company who print newspapers... digitally- the process is a lot quicker and more efficient. The cost is loads lower than the quotes of £5000 i was getting with traditional printers. The quality is slightly different as it's obviously printed differently but I am going to visit them tomorrow to check it out and clarify a few other things in person such as the size, how much more it will be to have colour on back page, when they'll be able to fit me in etc! It's a really positive step as i was worried i was going to have to sacrifice a lot of pages and work to reduce the cost, but this works as a good alternative.
