what i did

i tried out a BUNCH of different tools today, but didn’t have much luck with many of them — you either needed to make an account (and in my third year of school i am so, so sick of signing up my email for things) or the tools didn’t have what i needed to make my mock up. i also tried using indesign to make a rough sketch, but i’m still in the process of learning it and haven’t gotten too far.

so instead i used a site called moqups and i was able to do just what i needed! here’s my mock up so far:

the top half is on the left and bottom half is on the right. I’ll need to do a little resizing and obviously fill everything in (the boxes are where pictures will go!)–but this is what i plan on my newspaper looking like so far. i may add another page if i feel like just one isn’t enough, or if i just have free time in general.

why i did it

making a mockup will make it easier for me visualize what i want my final version to look like when i actually start my project!
