There is a wide range of colours shown on the page, there is a vast amount of green, the colours used are neutral rather than completely pink for a female based audience, nor completely blue for a male target audience

TheAdvertisements take up the entire side of A4 page, this is vastly different compared to the anaylsis I completed upon The Thanet Gazette, this indicated that the Canterbury Times is dependent upon revenue from the people using the newspaper to promote their business.

There is only one article on the page, which is accompanied by 3 images. The article is set into 4 columns, the fact box is similar to The Thanet Gazette fact section. Both local newspapers are based upon facts and figures rather than opinion. The shapes used within the the newspaper page, are mainly squares and rectangles, however there is inserts especially in the advertisements using different shapes, such as, love hearts in The Ashford International Hotel advertisement, a squiggle in the St Anselm’s Catholic School, and lastly a splodge in the the show for dogs.

The header at the top of the page is used as a advertising agent, it illustrates that the newspaper advertises news online and through a website. It is wrote in capital letters to display the importance of the news. It stretches to about 2/3 of the A4 page, above the main article.

The title of the article is short and punchy, it’s a large text in bold, it is a typical and straight forward font which is illustrated on many newspapers such as The Daily Mail, the image to the left illustrates how the similarities of the news paper title fonts.
