Creating a Newspaper

I think this may well be my favourite exercise of all because it teaches how to create something that really is at a professional level. Pick up a copy of any newspaper and you will find that there is nothing that you would not be able to do yourself, once you have followed this series of videos. You will need both graphics of the Mail on Sunday masthead and the front cover that I refer to in the videos. I am not a fan of the Mail on Sunday but it was just a cover that had a lot of skills on it that would be good to teach and learn.
