Brainstorm: Newspapers

Brainstorms: Design ideas

With this entry consist of my Design ideas for my Newspaper, deciphering what is going on my newspaper and generally taking notes and mostly visualising my ideas. 

Heres my Brainstorms below... 

Brainstorm 1

This brainstorm is very basic but to the point summing up my ideas, thought process and techinques for  my project ideas, this is where the magic begins, where the birth of the ideas commence.  Some of these ideas occurred to me after creating my brainstorms on the previous blog entry and from browsing through a newspaper and my Summer project, from my digital portfolio. some of these ideas from the brainstorm occurred from the top of my head also, which I had to write down so I can always reflect back and recap. For me as I say brainstorms I feel is the roots to the stem of the project, you have to maintain the roots before you get to the stem, so for me brainstorming is an importance to me as it shows my progression and improvement and showing how I get from A-B.

Brainstorm 2

This brain storm was slightly different still deciphering on newspaper ideas based on the choice of the name of the newspaper, the format of the newspaper and other basic design ideas and concepts for the newspaper, this brainstorm being more based on the layout of the newspaper as apposed to what is going on the newspaper. 

Brainstorm 3

With this brainstorm, it is more visually exciting to look at where I jotted down some of the basic ideas for what I'd like to include in my newspaper but displayed in a unique way. but it is basically the same thing as what I have written on the other two brainstorms but with more illustration and more visually exciting. 

Flat Plan for Newspaper Design

This brainstorm here is a scale plan for my Newspaper Design at the beginning days, this can all change but this is the kind of format I'd like it to have- this plan is very basic and strategically to the point and conveyed in a simplistic aesthetic. You could say the aesthetic of this piece is very much like how I create my cartoon like storyboards, which strangely creating this format of my visualised hope for my Newspaper is the kind of aesthetic I'd like create the comic strip parts of this newspaper.

Something I forgot to write on this brainstorm is the idea me and a friend of mine outside the uni (Thanks for the idea Clare!) but the idea being tea staining an A3 sheet and take a photograph of that and insert that for the background on the newspaper and to consider to use the typical Black letter or old English font for the text to correlate to the nostalgic older looking newspaper along with having the more modernised aesthetic like mixing the old with the new almost saying that was the new norm and the old norm. 

Along with that idea of the computer scroll up and down to mark the pages giving it the more contemporary aesthetic at the same time with the search bar etc almost like a google search page as I would like this newspaper to have digital aspects that give it the contemporary aesthetic so it would appeal to the future generation as well as the use of old fashioned vintage idea also.
