Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Front Cover

Our task was to recreate a Daily Mail front page for the news the Meghan Markle has been cheating on Prince Harry. The target audience for the Daily Mail is C2, D and E which is the lower area of the demographic profiling. The research I put into this piece was to look up different Daily Mail front covers to make it as realistic as possible and I also had to take into account some typical conventions of the Daily Mail. These included something to be won at the top of the page with a main headline underneath in big font size. There was also a large image on the front. The Daily Mail cover I chose to copy was .....

This source was different to other Daily Mail covers which stood out for me whilst I was recreating it. The thing I found most difficult was trying to find similar fonts. The Daily Mail uses different fonts for their titles and articles and this I found hard to replicate. Once I had finished, others thought my front cover matched well with the real one, overall I think it was successful. Although the layout was very close to the real one, I think my work could have been improved if the fonts were even more similar. By completing this task, I have learnt that each aspect of the paper has to be done carefully in order to make it as similar to a paper as possible for a full effect.
