Photos for the poster

ok, the weathers finally got sunny so i got my friends together and went down the beach to take some photos for my poster advertising 'island eye' newspaper. I chose the beach as my location because it is a local newspaper for the Isle of wight and the beaches are the perfect way to promote the island. I used teenagers because my target market is teenagers.
Here's a few of the photos, please comment and say which you like.
(the one with the couple works better if its zoomed in cos then you can auctually see the newspaper!)

title and logo ideas

here are some ideas for different fonts for my title aswell as some logo ideas, i personally like the top two but please comment and say which you prefer.

Conventions of a newspaper

ok so i thought, if i want to make my newspaper like a regular local newspaper i want to follow typical newspaper conventions, here are a few that i think i will follow:
Masthead: my newspaper needs a catchy title which is easy to notice, i have decided im going to use the title 'Island Eye' and am thinking of a logo to add to it too.
Colums: I'm going to write my article in colums because this is typical of a normal newspaper and gives the writing some sort of order
Pictures: my images need to be eyecatching and interesting to look and of good quality
Website/date/price: these are all vital parts of a newspaper front cover and it it vital that i have them.
Contents: most newspapers have some form of contents on the front cover, therefore i will have this on my front cover with a taster of some of the other news stories
