The experience that the publication is based on is the moments of realisation that you are now an adult and that moving out comes with responsibilities that most would have not even thought about until it happens. The content is predominately influenced by the twitter hashtag of '#adulting' and also my own experiences whilst being at university. The format choice to print on newsprint is playing on the idea that these adult moments are being presented in a format often associated with the older generation. The design does not follow the tradition layout of a newspaper as the modern twist was needed so that the newspaper suits the target audience of students.
The content is made up of small, funny stories of which are entertaining; along with an informative page on recommendations of places that I have visited near Leeds. This is appropriate to Level 4 Freshers because it will encourage them to try and explore new places, knowing that they will be worth the time and money spent. The double page spread in the centre of the newspaper has been designed so that the freshers can take it out and use as a poster to decorate their new student room, which often takes a long time to decorate and make personal.
The outcome showcases the printing resources at LCA, showing that the printers are able to print on a variety of stock that normally digital printers would not take. The teaching of principles is also something that has been show cased in this publication through the application of grids, using a number of Adobe softwares and making decisions on typeface choice.
