Thx for the imput, and misterfusion, thank you for the comparations, looks great and it gives me a great hand with the tweaks.

Ill work on it tonight, and if somebody has the font Gothic 13, please, if you dont mind to share it gusaweber@gmail.com

Again thank you, and the update tonight.

Okay, finally, I believe mine is finished:

I went back to the original and used it to line up my text so it is in th exact position.
I obtained the correct font for the headline and the photo caption.
I increased the contrast in the photo and added a halftone pattern (excellent idea - it really adds realism to the piece).
In fact I added the halftone pattern to all of the grey elements. I found this to be correct after examining a real newspaper.

Let me know what you think

Hey boys,

Next thing

It looks like the DP globe and date are lighter than the rest of the text on the page.

Whadday think?

Am I getting to nit-picky now? :angel

Nope - if you look closely, there is a glare in that area from an overhead light - I almost fell for it myself. However, after seeing other screen-used papers, there is no other instsnce of a lighter globe/date. The continents on the globe are grey though...

Okay, I'll see your light glare and raise you Bold Face.

How about the issue # and price being bolded and the date is regular. The date font doesn;t look as thick or bold.

Sh.t.

I think you're right. *sigh* :lol

Anyhoo, just for fun, here's a full-size mock-up I printed. (I had a pad of newsprint left over from college which I cut up into 8.5 X 11 sheets). Beside it hangs the local paper for scale.

Thanks Steve,
Chris

What a great job. Looks great

 

[YenChih Lin]

Chris, the blue part of the Press ID, shouldn't that be darker?
I've enhanced the pic, it was a pretty dark navy blue...

 

[Reel Fakes]

The photos make it look lighter - it's pretty dark in person.
