Following my decision to use the Daily Mail as a style model I found it helpful to study various examples of the newspaper with different stories to view how they are laid out. A few examples of the Daily Mail front pages are below.
As displayed above they all have a similar layout and following this investigation I came up with the following layout which I will stick to for my article.
- I kept it simple with the sections clearly divided and so it doesn't get too complicated. Also I didn't use overlapping images or anything like that as it could get a bit overwhelming, especially if the images are complicated.
- I kept the text to a minimum as this wouldn't attract a reader as much from a far away distance and a picture can say a lot about the story. They can also tell much more of the story too.
- I decided to put the headline at the top as despite previously saying that the twist on the Guardian article with the smaller and lower down headline being a modern twist this isn't conventional of the Daily Mail and it wouldn't be true to their usual style.
- I will also attempt to create the Daily Mail header and that will be placed where it always is, at the top in the centre.
