This is the original idea for the poster. The layout resembles a newspaper with images and text boxes. But the images would be photos of different people. The people would be of different ages, genders and race to get across the point that the paper has something for everyone.
Here I have enlarged the something for everyone, so the point gets across properly, if it was too small the images would take away the impact of the slogan. I have also added some features of the paper, so the readers know the content.
On this draft I have scrapped the newspaper layout to make a more attactive overlapping bundle of images. I have tried to keep the images similar sizes and shot distances to keep the page neat. I have started to include different ages, gender and race, but also different occupations
After more research into poster for newspapers I have noticed that the posters keep the same tagline or slogan as the newspaper. There for I have dropped the something for everyone idea and foccused on the Keeping You Informed slogan. Here I have experimented with typography to create logos made from Keeping You Informed or the different types of news in the paper. Lots of newspaper posters, like the guardian only focus on typography and text on there posters, which creates a contemporary look.
Here I have also created a text megaphone, to do this I pasted a megaphone image on the the page and arranged the text as an outline. The mega phone is informing people about News, Sports, Entertainment and Community news which are all featured in the Harrogate Post. At first the image would be read from bottom right to left, but people naturally view images from bottom left to top right, so I simply flipped the image to make it correct.
On this draft I have thickened the text to make it bolder and stand out more. And also moved the slogan to the bottom right to keep it seperate from the megaphone image as it doesn't look right with the typographic text.

I have added the person to represent the publick that the paper is informing.
