What I have done so far.

Up to this point i have completed one of the ancillary tasks, which is the newspaper poster. I have also completed the main task which is to complete two pages of a newspaper article.
Within these two tasks, I have been doing research into newspapers which include a Venn diagram, research into the conventions of a newspaper etc. From the research, I have designed and produced my own ideas for the tasks.

The final thing i have to do is the second ancillary task of making a website with two hyperlink pages. I have already started this task but due to having trouble getting Piczo at school (which is the website i am using to make my own website)I am having to do it all at home. However, this isn't a problem because I am able to still use blogger to find all my ideas about what I am putting in my website, but also how I am going to lay it out.
At this moment in time, on my website, i have created the basic things such as the two hyper links, the type of font and font size i am going to use and also where pictures and text are going. The things I am having to do now is put the information in the website such as stories and other little bits such as advertisements.
The only thing i am struggling with at the moment, is uploading the pictures i am needing. However, this should soon be overcome because i am going to talk with the technicians about how to fix the problem.

This is my finished main task of completing 2 pages of a newspaper; front cover and a second page. I have gained all my ideas for the layout from different newspapers that I have looked at that are shown on my blog. I have enjoyed doing this task because I was able to design the layout out myself and make it on my own.

Also, by doing this, i was able to work independantly and have no fuss about different ideas that other people have chosen when being in a group.

Changes

During this last month I have been changing and making a second page for my newspaper, I have chosen to do the sports page.
When finding out information, I have been looking on the Internet, looking at the layout of how other newspapers set their sports page.
Due to the page being about football, I have also made up a league table to make the page look more realistic and professional.

However, I have had to change things on my first page because there is too big a space at the top, so i have made a slogan, so that i can push the main heading up to make less space.

Once I have finished the two pages for the newspaper, I will go back to doing the second ancillary task. When I started to make the website on piczo, the computers weren't letting me edit the page at school, this is due to it saying the web page was blocked, however I was told it was unblocked, therefore I postponed this task until I have finished the main task of the two newspaper pages so that I have enough time to finish it at home.
