Background / Considerations
The willingness and ability to formulate informed opinions about your subject matter is an essential skill for a graphic designer.
In addition to being aware of events, concerns and the (un)popularly held opinions of the world around you, you also need to consider the tone of voice with which they are reported.
It is important that you read the stories thoroughly and research issues that are raised fully before committing your self to a visual opinion.
You can be serious, humorous, questioning, opinionated, bold, or subtle.
Your research should be broad and varied and should include but not be limited to; statistical, empirical (opinions), and personal.
Use a variety of approaches to your gathering of research, including editorial coverage in local, national and international press via both print and web. You should aim to observe the trends and differences between different formats of communication. Be aware of and include in your research and documentation the tone of voice, the use of images, typography and layout/composition.

Deliverables
A body of research into the story, issue or theme of your choice.
A physical copy of the newspaper.
For this brief we were asked to buy some newspapers on Saturday 25th October and to read through them all from something that interests us. From the Independent newspaper on that day I chose and article of which was talking about the 40th anniversary of the Rumble in the Jungle fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman this would be the basis and starting point of my research.
