Research

I started to research newspapers by looking at websites such as, 'The Sun' and 'The Times'. From this i identified the different hyperlinks that they used and how they layed out their pages and also what kind of information they provided. I found that The Sun focuses more on the big events that are happening on televison, for example, the world cup is the big highlight on their website page. Also, their page is quite colourful, with catchy font for people to read. Also, the pictures make the website more interesting to look at because it makes the stories more real. However,The Times is more of a formal website, which focuses on the News in the Uk and around the world, for example, BP's oil tank cargo was lost due to an accident, and the contents were all lost into the sea, this is the big story on their website. On the other hand, The Times' website lay out is quite plain as the font colour is all black, with a few pictures. It does have some color on different sub-headings but not alot for it to draw people attention.

Both of these newspapers are different from each other in terms of informtion but they have given me ideas on what i might include on the first two pages of my newspaper, such as, the diferent colours and the ways in which the fonts are used.
