My Newspaper Website Design

When designing my newspaper website, I used the Halstead Gazette's website as guide and used conventions of their website.
I used the pages news, sport, as they are the obvious categories as all newspapers have stories on these, and used a local info page which the Halstead Gazette have on their website. On the local info page they include information on weather, traffic news and events in the local area. I have used the De Vere crest as my newspaper logo as my newspaper is called 'Castle News', based on the local area of Hedingham. From using the De Vere crest, I have used the colour scheme red and yellow as these are the colours on the crest. I have also used some black in my colour but only because newspapers have the convention of being black and white.

On my website there is a home page and a news page. The home page includes the most recent news as does the news page but this also includes older news aswell.
I have used a different font for the smaller writing, times new roman, but this is similar to my main font for the titles.

The colour scheme of my newspaper based on the De Vere Crest logo.



My colour scheme also includes the colours black and white which are the stereotypical colours for a newspaper.






The logo I have included on all three of my products; the poster, website and newspaper. I have used this as the logo as it is the De Vere logo and as my newspaper is called 'Castle News' it relates to the newspaper title.
