My front cover so far

The image below is a mock up of my front cover so far. So far I have placed all my stories on my page, including the headlines. I have almost put my masthead on the cover. As you can see I have made a few changes to the way in which the front cover looks. For starters I have re-arranged my masthead, by putting it all on the left side third, instead of central. I did this because I felt as though this will make it more bold and it also is high in conventionally as Post and Times also have placed their titles on the third side. By removing the slogan, which was once on the right side of the masthead to be underneath, I think this makes the masthead more empowering and implies it's importance. However, I have kept my logo but have moved it to the right side of my masthead, similar to the Liverpool Echo. I did this, mainly because it fitted well with the new place of my masthead and also conveys that my newspaper is very in with the community. By making the  letter "P" represent the start of both words this gives the newspapers a clear ident, for readers to recognise the newspaper.
