Starting the front of my paper.

This is the image that I am choosing to use for the front of my paper.
It is not 'Davy Knowles', the singe that I talked about earlier in my blog. This is someone that is a popular local musician. I decided that this is a better idea as using someone famous could lead to possible complications.

This is a local musician called 'Elliot' and he main genera alternative rock. This is a really good image and I have edited it slightly using 'Photoshop'.

The plan is to put this image in the bottom third of my front cover 'Content with pictures' and include a small article and reference to a larger article with more pictures on the inside.

The article is going to say 'Elliot stormed The Engine Room on Friday night, the young rising star had a line of fans coming out of the club and lining up down the harbour to listen. more on page 4' 
I am aware that I will also need a headline, but I am undecided as to which one I am going to use.

• Elliot storms the Engine Room, another rising star.
• Another rising star, Elliot fills the Engine Room.
• Rock star rising, Elliot's full again.

These are the 3 that I have come up with so far but I could possibly come up with a couple more or even a better one, for now I think these are more than good enough.

As for the other areas of my front page I plan to too include adverts for The Engine Room, in the top third as well as a couple more adverts. This is the actual advert for 'The Engine Room' and I have received permission from the landlady to use this as I used to work there. I am planning to use another couple of adverts on the top but I don't think that they should be related to music, otherwise it would be to much and make the paper look that it is just music orientated which is not the case. Possible a building firm or something along those lines would work really well to ground it back down to being a new independent Manx paper.
