News Paper Reflection

What I contributed to the newspaper was, I made an article, found the main picture, and actually made the layout with the help of Daniel. The Article that was written by me is the aspect I feel to be most proud of because I didn’t it by myself without the assistance any group members. The only area people helped me with the article was with critics and to check for errors that I didn’t catch.

Another area I am proud of would have to be the entire layout of the newspaper. The only thing I would go back and change to it would have to adding at least one more picture, this way it doesn’t look like a bunch of cluttered writing thrown on the paper.

One more area I would correct if there were another draft would be to fix the captions for the pictures because I noticed errors right away. For example I didn’t capitalize Douglas in the text area for the caption.

Designing the layout came together with two heads working on it sometimes with jasmine throwing in an opinion as well as Samantha doing the same. The main news paper we got ideas from was the NY Times because the layout of the newspaper is fairly simple. We have an article on both sides with a main picture in the center like the NY Times. I feel this made a pleasant view on the eye because you see the picture and realize one of the articles has something to do with the picture on the cover.


Overall I think we did a decent job finishing the article. We could have had some one revise the article to notice the little errors that we made. I feel those could cost us with the final grade if all we were getting graded on was text and grammar. Other than that I believe we made a good news paper
