Reserach into local newspapers - front page and contents page.

I decided to mind map by hand the features and conventions of a typical local newspaper, this helped me to recognise the conventions and prepare myself for my newspaper. By doing this I could also gain inspiration and ideas for challenging the stereotypical local newspaper. By mind mapping by hand I could also be creative with my response to the typical local newspaper, the coloured pens helped me to visualise my ideas in an effective way.
